Who are these innocents we wronged so? Where are they? They don’t exist. It’s not as if we went tear-assing around afghanistan grabbing every bearded guy who wasn’t nailed down or in the ground and started hassling him.

Are you sure? What about the ones we quietly released who we had nothing on? Yes, some of them were then later picked up again. Others were not.

Do you really think that the government always only ever captures the guilty?

Guilty until proven innocent is not the American way. Care to debate that? Care to look at the innocent Americans, who were given full trials in American courts who none the less got executed?

Your argument is just divorced from the realities of justice systems.
