re: #73 RogueOne

You’re interpretation of the scene is different than mine. If it’s perfectly legal to toss him in a military cell then we aren’t bypassing the “rule of law”.

What set More off was his family’s request that he use his own considerable powers of arrest and detention to serve his own immediate needs. More’s rejection of such use of perfectly legal procedures is plain. He is revulsed by the very suggestion of bending the law to achieve political ends.

I’m entirely content to see this trial play out as it should, in a Federal court, as would be the case for anyone attempting murder or mass murder. We don’t have one special set of laws for an arbitrary, nebulous class of people we really don’t like, and another set for people we’re more comfortable with.

These same people sawed off Dan Pearl’s head on camera because he was an American, and for no other reason than that. I’d rather not become the people we’re fighting.
