re: #259 Aceofwhat?

I think he’s right about our Nigerian homie in custody…that guy deserves my civil liberties less than just about anyone on the planet. We should be treating him differently than a common criminal. I’m not saying we should torture him, but I hate that folks of this ilk get all of the same protections that I do. He’s not a criminal - he’s a terrorist. Kristol is right. It’s not the same thing.

He was arrested in US territory, and that means he gets full US civil rights like any other foreign national arrested in the US. You can’t abrogate the US Constitution just because you think he deserves harsher punishment.
