Especially those who crap themselves if a terrorist we're holding gets as little as a papercut.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Let me tell you a little something, too, DAR. As a direct result of 9/11, my dad lost his career of 39 years and his health declined soon after and he died at age 66. I can't prove a connection, it was pancreatic cancer, but it wouldn't surprise me. My wife lost her job of 22 years in the insurance industry as a direct result of the attacks as well. Our income was cut in half over night and only now are we starting to climb back to kind of where we left off back in 2001 financially. Now, these are much, much smaller prices paid because of terrorism than people who lost loved ones, firefighters, police, etc. I visited ground zero several times last week and it brought it all back again. So it is particularly bad timing on your part to accuse me and others of being some terrorist sympathizers, while portraying yourself as some sort of lightening rod of truth. Because some of us would rather not sink to the level of terrorists you paint us as essentially enablers. As if torturing terrorists the way you wish we would would have stopped the bombings in Jakarta. Apologetic? Hell no. If someone has a chance to blow away a terrorist, great! But if we capture them, we must follow certain rules. Rules that were created through the experience of military and police conduct over the years. Like it or not, because otherwise we become what we hate. I like you DAR, and I like you William, but this stuff is getting very, very old.

You won't find it. I'm calling bs on you too.

What surprises me is how many people don't freak out over this, and how many people are complicit in the denial of human rights to prisoners. The Spirit of '76 is dead in the U.S.A.
