Keep moving the goalposts

1st it’s “immoral” because we’re better than that,,, OOOPPPSSS, we’re fighting immoral terrorists
Then it’s “illegal” because of US law,,, OOOPSS, but they aren’t US citizens
Then it’s “illegal” because we’re holding them prisoner ,, OOPPSS, they’re not in US jails

Now it’s “illegal” because of the Geneve Convention ,, OOPPS, Al Quada isn’t a signatory!!

It doesn’t matter whether they’re a signatory or not. We are. And it’s still immoral because we need to be better than that, it is against our law and custom and it should remain so.

The essential question is are we a civilized nation of laws or a barbaric nation of vendetta.

If we’re the former, than this behavior needs to be investigated when it happens. If we’re the latter, we’ve given up every value that we were founded on.
