This is why I don't want to go back to "Criminalizing" the war on Terror I understand your attitude about those who, post 9/11, insist on treating terrorism as a criminal matter. But I think folks are much too hard on those who followed the criminal paradigm before that. Things evolve and we can't judge people too harshly when they are operating according to the standards of their day. We cut George Washington some slack for owning slaves even as we disapprove and wish that he had shown the foresight to eschew that popular practice. Had Clinton made a speech announcing he was switching to a war paradigm with terrorists, he would have been thought nuts.
