Child facing possible execution in Guantanamo Bay. This is a 16 yo BOY, which the Chimp Administration accuses of killing a US soldier and his FAMILY having Al Qaida ties. worldnetdaily.com He's going to be tried without representation by a military tribunal. What a kangaroo court that's going to be. Xray Death Camp is what it is. My govt. has attempted to get him repatriated without success. Shame on Bush on his record of executing minors.

>Comparing raw numbers without taking into account >the sample size is the stupidest way to attempt >lying with statistics. I know what you mean. It's just like the liberals who scream that we have a "record" budget deficit this year.

Not only that. Take the Vietnam war, for instance. 57,000 troops dead in the twelve year period 1961-72. That works out to about 13 soldiers a day. Surely a lot more Americans used to die everyday by drowning, fire, accidents, homicide during those years? So would Limbaugh say that 13 per day is not too bad? Of course, when there was a chance that he could be one of that 13, he was unable to do what he otherwise would have loved to do -- lay his life down for the country. That darned boil on his butt did the trick... er, I mean, robbed him of that glory! ;-)
