Yeah, kinda like the Washington Redskins, right? lol Check out my edited post for history. If anyone got upset at the term "Yanks"... I am sorry. replace "Yank Soldier" with "American Soldier". That should do it My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #353 October 31, 2003 QuoteFeel better now? Excerpt The rules set by the Pentagon for the trials have come under sharp criticism from human rights groups and criminal defense lawyers, who doubt the defendants can get fair trials. I will feel better IF they use criteria that history will refer to as just. I want them tried and convicted or exonerated on evidence that would hold up in our own court system. It needs to be done in the open, since we are always touting our free and open system to the rest of the world and that is what they in their minds have come to expect from America. Excerpt "We are now putting forth a system of justice before the world that doesn't meet either current American or international standards of due process," said Kevin Barry, a renowned expert in military justice and board member of the National Institute of Military Justice. But I have a strong feeling the world will believe that with the length of time it has taken to get to this stage in the trials was for the assembly of the court to be made from rather large Australian marsupials. History will judge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excerpt QuoteThe rules set by the Pentagon for the trials have come under sharp criticism from human rights groups and criminal defense lawyers, who doubt the defendants can get fair trials. This is a pretty common tactic of these groups. When was the last time you heard ANY Defense Attorney say his client COULD get a fair trial under any cirumstances?

Not going to happen. These people are far too dangerous. Of course our government will be damn no matter how we handle it. If it's done in an open court and there is some type of terroist attack, or the family of a witness is harmed, you lefties will be quick to criticize the govt. for not providing enough security. It's never enough for the left.

I am a centrist... just because I am not over on the right of Attilla the Hun ( couldn't use the fascist analogy but DAMN it fits thanks to BILLVONS POST) with the rest of the idiots in the current administration. There are a vast number of people who hold views that are middle of the road who see this crap with the far right and get a tad worried that our country will never be the home of the free again. Freespeech or ANY disenting opinion is now seen as anti-american if you do agree with the ULTRA RIGHT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is this is how you see yourself, but not how others view you. ***There are a vast number of people who hold views that are middle of the road who see this crap with the far right and get a tad worried that our country will never be the home of the free again. Freespeech or ANY disenting opinion is now seen as anti-american if you do agree with the ULTRA RIGHT. Free speech is one thing. Your constant bashing of everything the President and his Administation do and say is quite another. Perhaps a re-evaluation of how far your hate-spewing has gone is in order.

It's never enough for the left. There are other countries that have tried terrorists in open court. There is heightened security but it does happen. Facing terrorism is more than capturing them and stopping further attacks. Part of it is not allowing the fear of terrorism to drastically change the way you conduct your life nor how a government governs. if you change that basic conduct the terrorist has effected your life and has to some extent scored a victory over you as you are now reacting to them.
