Subject: RE: BS: Obama caters to neo-cons - more war
You've offered one case out of thousands in an attempt to justify stripping everyone in the Arab world of their rights. That to me spells bigot. You can hold your breath if you want, but I've already pointed out more than once in THIS thread where your words show your nature.

"fuck their human rights"-pretty harsh statement in the plural, not just one guy.

"and of those released there are about 85+ have gone right back to doing what they did before, killing Americans"-made up statistic to justify the other statement without any evidence that ANY of the people in question had actually killed anyone.

These are just 2 parts of one sentence of one post.

If you have any real evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of any of these people, please step up and testify before the court.

Some of them are indeed bad people who need to be prosecuted, but to strip all of them of their rights just to make things "neat" for one side is immoral, and defense of those who do so makes one just as guilty.

Previous, and some current, governments have used similar approaches. Some of these leaders include Stalin, Hitler, Musolini, Amin, Hussein, and now GWB, and by association at least, Blair.

I don't know about you, but I really don't want my country to remain on that list. This country was founded on principles that have existed for millenia and based on the letter of the law. If we cannot follow that law and stick to those principles, we just as well use the Constitution to wipe our asses.

If you are offended by my, and others, defense of those principles, I feel sorry for you(that's the closest you'll get to an apology from me), as I will not stand idley by and let you or anyone else destroy my country.

If you believe that these people have done something wrong, give them their day in court. To deny this is to do more damage than any of their bombs can ever do.
