The meaning of the word "harbored" is not difficult to determine: dictionary.com v. har·bored, har·bor·ing, har·bors To give shelter to: harbor refugees; harbor a fugitive. To provide a place, home, or habitat for: a basement that harbors a maze of pipes; streams that harbor trout and bass. To entertain or nourish (a specified thought or feeling): harbor a grudge. The statute is clearly drafted. Statutes do not have "political" meanings. They often are designed to effect policy and political ends, but to do so they have to engage in the clear use of words. The words in this statute are crystal clear. I started this end of the discussion because I suspected that you do not appreciate the fact that Bush is legally empowered to attack Iraq upon his finding that Iraq harbored AQ. You've convinced me that I'm right on the point. It's clear to me that W is statutorily authorized to attack Iraq should he find that it harbored AQ. Now you want to shift and talk politics. That is another discussion--in fact it is much of the discussion on this board for some time. Your shift, I suppose, means that I've won this small part of the debate. :)
