At this point, it's starting to look like a score card would help. It would be nice to have a source page that had the names of the detained telling who where and why, and maybe update the facts as to where these people are moved to and the possible clues gained though interrogation. It would also be nice to know this about the smaller fish caught in the nets too. I think something like this could help to bring back a sense of order in what now appears as chaos to the average fellow. If there were a single source with just the facts giving the connections between the captured and showing how the net reaches farther out after each person is taken in to custody and questioned, this could help return a sense that those working to end this terrorism are making progress by nabbing the perpetrators. This also raises the question in my mind that another score card would be called for too. One that would keep watch over humanitarian outreach from the well to do nations towards the impoverished and warring regions. I would like to believe that we (the world) are going to at least try to provide a different vision of the future where we appreciate our differences from one another and find ways to make all lives more fulfilling by finding ways to use our differences to make our world stronger instead of tearing it apart. Obviously I am a Liberal at heart, but that is my point. We all bring differing strengths. Now would be an excellent time in the history of the world to use these to bind us together rather than cloister ourselves with like kind to filter out the differences. In a world this crowded and this connected, xenophobia fills no beneficial role. At least that's how I see it. --Coz
