olfart and pb both raise key points in maintaining our REAL defense against the most serious terrorists, the home-grown nut cases that are willing and eager to throw away OUR protections in law and the Constitution. We should fear and hate not foreigners, but screamers and liars like Limbaugh, Gingrich and Cheney. We CAN have trials and put criminals in prisons, WHEN AND IF FOUND GUILTY OF CRIMES. We CAN prosecute and contain those guilty of “war crimes”, but they’d better have been involved in a war declared by Congress, and part of a GOVERNMENT at war with the U.S.
I saw “suspects” turned in as Viet Cong, who had only “offended” their neighbors, and the Vietnamese were a LOT more rational, and had fewer tribal differences than in either Iraq or Afghanistan. If your neighbor refused to turn down his stereo, don’t file a noise complaint, tell the police he’s a terrorist who shot at police or the military- that would be an example in a U.S. neighborhood of what happened to fill cells at Abu Graib and Guantanamo, and it’s still going on.
