An old friend writes: “Maybe this is the death struggle of the American republic. The Supreme Court made at least a gesture to revive the Rule of Law last week… but… Congress may easily be stampeded on this.” I am……

The left do have the unique ability to cheapen life in the name of improving it for the guilty, don’t they?

Isn’t Hamdan pretty clear in that, while the military tribunals themselves may be unconstitutional – there is NO constitutional requirement to have any tribunal at all, and these unholy subhuman death cultists freedom fighters can be held indefinitely as hostile combatants – until hostilities cease?

In other words … aren’t these anti-American terrorist sympathizers brave Democrats in effect arguing against the only sort of ‘due process’ these sexually confused sheep lovers oppressed Jihadists going to get?

I mean … fine – just stop the tribunals. Let them rot. Problem solved, right?

Is that really what the ACLU had in mind?

The Geneva Conventions require one wear a uniform of the country they represent.

I fail to understand how libbies can’t see this.

If the terrorists were actually US Marines, maybe the left would find it in their hearts to actually condemn them, especially Murtha.

Republicans have been dumb on many issues.
Democrats have been dumber on all issues.

The MSM is losing viewership/readership to the internet daily, thank you, Al Gore for inventing the Internet.

Everyone is struggling here with making the fight fit the preconceptions.

Instead people should focus on what matters the most here. Targeting civilians and not wearing a uniform so you look like a civilian is a violation of the same rules of war that govern the military’s treatment of prisoners of war, sacred places, hospitals, etc..

The terrorists do not recognize this code and we compel ourselves to follow it anyway.

Is it worth it?

I knew a soldier that died in Iraq, so it makes it too personal for me to be objective about it. However, there’s nothing about the political debate over our response to terrorism that seems objective to me at all.

At first, I was pretty upset with the Hamdan decision … but then I recalled an old saying: “Sometimes, ‘adversity’ is ‘opportunity’ dressed in rags.”

Check of proof: at the end of the day, despite Hamdan -

1. The two-legged animals we have caged up in Gitmo aren’t going anywhere. If we want to let them rot there until the end of the GWOT, or until they die, whichever comes first, the Supreme Court is OK with that.

2. If we want to try them via military tribunals, then again according to the Supreme Court all Congress has to do is draft appropriate legislation to that effect. So it’s justice delayed, not denied.

3. And as a bonus, we get to see the donks once again completely misapprehend the point of the decision as some kind of anti-Bush talking point, and start whooping it up in front of the American people just like the Palestinians did when they first learned about what happened on 9/11.

It’s a trifecta, if you ask me.

The rights of due process are among our most cherished liberties, and today’s decision is proof of the Bush Administration’s responsibe actions to both protect the American people and our Constitution. We cannot allow the values on which our country was founded to become a weapon used against America in the war on terrorism thus we must reaffirm that its laws apply to Americans only.”

Isn’t it refershing to not be listening to the liberals cry court activism for a change? That is just temporary of course.

The only problem is you’ll never see any of this on the MSM.

But it is just as much the GOP’s fault as it is theirs because when you stand by and just let them get away with all their crap, from their activist judges releasing criminals back on society to their seditious fat mouths, it only makes them think that they still have a ways to go before they actually cross the line, a line they don’t even think exists anyway. As long as the GOP controlled Congress sits by and does NOTHING AS USUAL, the liberal minds will just continue to run amuck.

Again, have you EVER seen a Nation so intent upon doing stupid things to actually TRY to lose a war? Well, besides Israel anyway.
