AJMarine111---Can I go to sleep know or are you still attempting to come up with a lucid and logical response?
I get reeeeeally tire of conversing here with people who can''t respond when you call them on something!!!
It''s not that I can''t deal with people who have a different opinion from mine; it''s that people who get called out on their opinions or facts don''t have the guts to respond or have the honor to admit when they are wrong!

- BUT, how do you differentiate the terrorists from the poor slobs who end up working with them because THEY cant tell the difference?

Because they can''t tell the difference in what?
"In other words, if WE can''''t tell the difference because someone isn''''t wearing a uniform, how do you expect the driver to?''
The man drove for OBL,............don''t you think he knew what he was doing? When they caught him, he had two anti-aircraft missles in the car with him. - Reply to this comment

Because, perhaps, he may not have been involved in an army? Yeah, I know you''ll say that none of them wear a uniform, because terrorists AREN''t part of any country''s army. And you''d be RIGHT on that point!
BUT, how do you differentiate the terrorists from the poor slobs who end up working with them because THEY cant tell the difference?

I''ll give you my entire life savings if you can answer this conclusively in a logical argument! - Reply to this comment
- In any legitimate court---military or civilian---the issues of how and under what conditions the evidence was obtained could be reviewed. Which means war crimes offenses by the Bush administration would be acknowledged.
Under this made up court system designed to railroad the accused, what''''s included is ONLY what they want, what''''s not, they don''''t allow! There''''s no justice involved, it''''s just about getting a conviction!
It will inflame the Middle-East against us!
I think you''''re correct about your speculation!

I want to repeat this post because this is a point that the neocons always seem to neglect and then they want to accuse those of us who DO take it into account as being ''America haters'' or ''terrorist apologists''.
I don''t think that I belong to either of those categories.
But I do believe that evidence gathered under torrture and hearsay should simply NOT be allowed under any system that wants to have the word ''justice'' associated with its name.
For those of you who want to justify this--do you realize that we are only a short step away from the right of the state to take away anyone for any reason and keep them indefinaitely, without any right of ''habeus corpus''?
