Yes, I do—but I beat the “human rights v. civil rights” drum loud and often because the two are antithetical, and because the insertion of “human rights” into our thinking and our jurisprudence is a very sneaky—and effective—way of undermining the civil rights upon which our liberties rest.

I understand, and I agree, Even when I used it, I thought it sounded a bit to “Euro” but for what ever reason, I couldn’t come up with another phrase.

But, what I said still stands. I don’t care of certain people don’t like it, but we do have ways that we handle these things, and it is not by capturing, interrogation and then killing.
