Thank you for that lucid response, Nadine. Got any ideas as to what should be done with the Gitmo prisoners other than what they are getting now? Me, I'm fine with Gitmo and the opportunity they have to show that they weren't combatants. It's the only option as far as I'm concerned. A crusty old State court judge I practiced before had a large banner in his courtroom reminding criminals that "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." The same simplistic principle applies in spades to anyone who takes arms against another country and gets captured while doing so.

They are just the excuse. Only if you have a persecution complex. I am reminded of the joke about Irish Alzheimer's -- you forget everything but the grudge. If all you want out of life is unconditional love and admiration, you're going to be sorely disappointed. On the other hand, when people and institutions we formerly respected all of a sudden have critical things to say, one might dismiss the criticism as persecution, or one might recall that once not so long ago we valued their opinion, and listen to what they have to say.
