Subject: RE: BS: Obama caters to neo-cons - more war
Freeman, I disagree, was not an ideologue. He saw the irony of the Mid-east crisis.
A Hobbesian Trap. He was right to criticize Israel as an aggressor nation.

The boogey-man of "terrorist" is measured by those who have never met one or seen one in the flesh or even talked to one. The whole idea of what constitutes a terrorist is manufactured by belligerents in the military and the news media.

We don't know who those people in Git-mo are because they have been denied the right
of due process.

Shaking in our boots at an imaginary monster is unproductive. This would be exemplified by the use of the specious "enemy combatant".

Give them a fair trial and then we can assess who they really are.
