America is trying to prevent the murder of innocent people. The terrorists and their sympathizers have a goal of world dominated by Islam.
Also, I don't know where you get they deserve a fair trial. They are not American citizens. They were not rounded up for parking tickets. They obviously were where they did not belong. You will also not address the fact that some of those released were back to making michief. If a prisoner is released and he goes back to terrorism, how can you justify letting him go in the name of justice and protecting innocent lives? |
Nothing you said justifies not following international rules. Breaking the law is not "liberal rhetoric", it is what has happened.
Not following our own laws certainly brings us down to their level. We are doing exactly what the act of terror intended us to do. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness. Laziness is only lack of incentive." Norman Reider, MD
Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality. |
