While whattheheck's response seems logical and points to specific questions of interest, I beleive it to be the most brutal I have ever read. Wrong Place -wrong time? I beleive Habeas Corpus would have covered that one nicely-oh but wait-we don't have that one anymore-900 or so years of precedence wasn't enough for us superior americans. That this man -and oh so many more- was subjected to any of this flies in the face every founding principle of this nation-law or no law. Innocent until proven guilty-evidence not intention-are any of these ringin' a bell? And spare me the he's not …

WTH Perhaps no one responds to the "seriousness of the war on terror" because they don't feel that Iraq counts as an attempt to address it. This war was predicated on a lie, and once you lie to me,and continue to lie to cover the original lie, everything is suspect. I don't doubt that there are those out there that have us as their "target number one" but I think you miss the point, and although I agree with Liberal's call on Osama's agenda, etc., what Al Qaeda has galvanized is all out hatred of the so called West. because of …
