Never will fearmongering and rational thought be on the same page. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/6757831970536611030/?src=hsr#286935 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:20:06 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/6757831970536611030/?src=hsrs#286935 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/6757831970536611030/?src=hsrs#286935 I suppose if you're predisposed to believe his sales pitch you're not going to be smart enough to realize you could put together the same thing for around $25 and still have enough to send to Mac Hammond so his wife can get a pedicure. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286883 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:26:43 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286883 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286883 DAV, the psychological need for retribution here overwhelms anything else. You can see that in the comments to this post. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286882 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:57:19 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286882 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286882 I'm always wary of the Death Penalty. Especially in terrorism cases when the convicted may become a Martyr to their allies, and the lost prospect of information gleaning about the larger organization. Tim McVeigh, despite being a monster of epic proportions, should have been given a life sentence then had his brain picked. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286817 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:39:48 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286817 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286817 And Spot's mother wore combat boots, right, Dave? http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286816 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:40:13 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286816 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286816 You wont even have to check the archives to see that Gitmo is still open, torture is still available if Pres Obama signs off, rendition is still the policy of the CIA, as is indefinite detention of unlawful combatants and even US citizens. You attack the Bush era policies but conveniently ignore the fact that none of those policies have changed under the One. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286749 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:38:17 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286749 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286749 Well, the civil libertarian's answer to Dave's flight into hysteria is: the previous administration should have thought of that before it started beating the shit out of people. The stories are legion about the sloppy, inept, and yes, criminal, manner in which cases were put together against a number of the detainees. The conservatives' real problem is the possibility that Bushco's titanic inep... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286748 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:06:17 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286748 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286748 If that is the case, Spot, that we try them as criminals only, then how will there ever be a conviction? How can the men possibly get an impartial jury just blocks from the scene of their 'crime'? How can any of the confessions be ruled admissible when they were obtained under duress? How can anything these men have said over the years since their 'arrest' be admissible when they weren'... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286707 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:25:36 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286707 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286707 Oh Dave, we've been through this so often. Spot has said that if you're going to call this unpleasantness a war, you ought to treat the people you detain as prisoners of war. Since the whole wide world is claimed as the theater of war, that's potentially people from a lot of places not remotely connected to actual battlefields, and that has proven to be so. Dave is right about a category of det... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsr#286714 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:56:52 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286714 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/blogspotdog/4405071032180748235/?src=hsrs#286714 Yeah you know, dave, it's rather cuirous that it's only republicans who call the President "The One." I have yet to hear of a single Democrat doing so. But then Republicans still want to insist that Bush never ever did anything that was a mistake or wrong.
