And, Uncle DaveO, I would agree that these are not the same case but both represent a general attitude that since after all it is a "WAR AGAINST TERRORISM" that anything goes...

Do you realize there were tens of thousands of phone calls by Lynne Stewart that were tapped? If all they could pin on her that she publicly stated what her clients feelings on the cease fire, which were also conveyed to his wife, then I'm thinkin' "Hey, if this woman is so dangerous then why didn't they find more stuff on her?" I mean, thousands of phone conversations? Let' get real.

But, like the "deatineees", who are being torturedas we speak in Guantanemo Bay (violating Genva accords that the US expects other countries to afford any of our service people) the Bush folks just couldn't really give a tinkers damn about law, domestic or international. They got a big stick and they are definately in the wackin' mood.
