re: #555 albusteve

that’s your first assumption that is just plain wrong…for one reason or another people are not equal…terrorists are not equal to American citizens…you want to go off into some progressive realm of unicorns and I won’t go there…we do not have to express our morality to anybody, they can judge us by our actions…we have not stiffed the world…we have no message we need to send or apologies to make…that’s BOs kool aid…severe BDS

Well that’s where you and I differ. I do think that terrorists should be afforded the same rights as an American. Again, that’s what makes us GOOD and what makes the terrorists BAD.

Your attitude seems to be that America can just do whatever it wants, and everyone else in the world can suck it. And you’re right, we pretty much can do what we want. But that doesn’t mean it’s wise to.

By your logic the Taliban can treat our prisoners however they want? And we should simply deal with it? When they hold a tribunal and then executed a captured prisoner, they are justified?
