"That's why I phrase the argument the way I do. We have a legal system and the people in that system have been trained to uphold the system, even when the people who are being processed are murderers, torturers, child molesters, gangsters, no matter how rotten, they get treated the same way because the system doesn't differentiate between the rotten and the semi-rotten and the innocent, except for the final result." I can see the need to separate legal rights/benefits of citizenry from - human rights, in the sense that Jefferson considered the natural human condition and right to well being to be a self evident situation. All people have human rights, select people have the rights of citizenry. There is no way to support the notion of torturing another humanbeing on a fishing expedition for information that has moral justification. When we start down such a path, upon what do we found our moral grounds to do anything as a government entity?
