Agree with Ackerman. One of the mistakes as a nation, actually the press is we have created this boggie man named Al queda and inflated them to this omnipotent figure. Their aim is to create fear where ever they are and threatened our civil liberties. Its almost like the press want the American public to be in constant fear, with fear we give up rights easier. Think about it the dude put stuff in underwear, that is who we are ought to change our life for?? No thank

"this is a war" no. its not a war old man. you WANT it to be, but it's not.

and that's the problem.

sit your old ass down pat. we defeated the nazis 65 years ago and now the only people that fuck with us are street gangs who are willing to kill themselves to kill us...it's a NEW problem, and you don't know shit about it, so shut the fuck up.

It was the Brits that fire bombed Dresden (in retaliation to the Nazi's attack on Coventry). The Constitution makes NO differentiation between citizens and non-Americans, but refers instead to PEOPLE. Your position is in direct opposition to the Constitution. The question is, do you support the Constitution or not?

Same NSA bloggers again! Not gonna work fellas! To the reader, same security companies as 7/7 and Fruitof the Boom/Amsterdam are in charge of OLYMPICS?Vacouver! What no raghead or left/right comments. BUSH2 or Black BUSH? Cat got your toungue, Ft. Meade?

[Skeptic121]

I do like Pat Buchanan and I do not like that other guy, Ackerman. BUT, I have to admit he, Ackerman is right. If we let the government torture the Nigerian, even by denying him his pain meds, the government will do it to US. Actually, Ken Starr did exactly that to James McDougal to make him testify against Bill and Hillary way back in 1998. Prison guards denied McDougal his heart medication and he had a heart attack. That was before 9/11 for those of you in Rio Linda.

Waterboard that muslim rat bastard and find out what the hell is going on.

[mizzoulibertarian]

We fire bombed Dresden and didn't bat an eye during ww2. Using a hammer on this guys toes wouldn't be a big deal

America must take the moral high ground. Fair treatment doesnt embolden and motivate the terrorists, gitmo does.

[TOURSGMD]

Seriously they could easily have denied him all these american legal luxuries, by avoiding setting foot on american soil. Kept him on the plane and transported him to one of America's no man's land torture prisons. Infact if he hadn't been taken alive, we could have avoided all of this. Infact we could have shot the plane out of the sky, to make damn sure he didn't get any benefits.

Totally Animal Farm. All animals are equal, but some animals are more American than others...

well, i'm sorry if i called you a jesus freak. and yes, i'm in the wrong about making generalizations. i'm assuming you're conservative at heart. is that what you wanted to hear? an "i'm wrong, you're right" apology? well, you were right, and i was wrong. you wanna drop this stupid argument?

[Alfrunk]

You just can't stop making a fool of yourself can you, my bigoted friend? I am certainly no religious freak of any kind. Shouldn't the super smart, nuance-understanding folks like yourself refrain from generalizations like that?
