US needs limited martial law, better intl PR
all these little battles over rights of detained non-citizens are bothersome
I am sure that 20-30% of them are purely innocent
but for the rest, I say "toss their rights in the shitter"
with limited martial law, we can proceed with investigation without the constant nuisance of lawyers, ACLU, and other liberal beefcakes on demagogic stands
we have yet another undeclared war
except the President and Congress have talked about US at war
second issue is the Public Relations battles
I was pleased to see former US ambassador to Syrian speak immediately follow Uncle Ben Laden on Al Jazeera Arab television
while many viewers will regard this guy a lackey, many will appreciate the counter-valing viewpoint
we have largely ignored the entire Arab world for three decades,
except for buying their oil, watching our property expropriated, rescuing their undefended lands, and providing foreign aid
good to see US leaders waking up to the need to promote our side of the story
try to behave yourself, Scott
very very bad man, bad man, misbehaved, bad bad
