>You can't "never go" that way. The problem is that we are trying to apply rules of civilized engagement against an uncivilized group of thugs. I don't think there ever will be a definitive answer to how best this will be handled.

I know we will never agree, but as the saying goes "being there, done that" I have seen what happens when your own government decides to break to law to uphold the law, and let me tell you, it´s not pretty.

When I was 16, I was almost shot by a government "agent", just for riding my motorcycle too close to their car. He pointed at me with a .45 pistol for about 10-15 seconds while we where driving in traffic, deciding if to shoot me or not.

Just try to imagine how i felt for those 10-15 seconds, and how I felt for the next couple of years, I mean, there is no one to call, no one to stand up for you, what are you going to do? call 911? They ARE 911. Please try hard to imagine how that feels.

Exactly the same thing is happening with the american government, the laws and rights of the people are put aside in the name of the fight against terror.

Let me tell you just one thing, I know no one in America cares much for a bunch of arab terrorists held in a distant prison, but have you heard of...

Just pray they never decide to come after you.
