The very public trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others are said to be about human rights. But I don’t believe it. I think these trials are simply a way to publicly embarrass the former President. And since there’s likely a lot we don’t know maybe there’s lots of stuff that President Bush should be embarrassed about.
But let’s not pretend that this is about President Obama’s great concern for human rights. Remember that while Obama is practically tripping over himself to ensure that terrorists from other countries are being given trials, he refuses to see the rights of the unborn as even an issue. Remember, it’s above his pay grade. And he’s more than happy to ignore the human rights of the Chinese because we owe them so much money. The President’s party is also currently advocating forcing people into prison for not buying health insurance. Prison. And this is the “human rights” party?
I know I’ve said this before but we have a President who very plainly advocated the killing of his own grandchild. So spare me the sanctimony please.

By their fruits you will know them.
Based on observation, the DNC / Obama agenda is deadly to the innocent, harmful to the ignorant, and beneficial to the evil.

Kinda puts stuff into perspective, doesn't it?

Well, if we aren't forced to buy the health insurance, how will the government pay for it?
Thanks for nothing, O'Damit!

To some, one needs to be born first before getting vested with human rights. Then again, someone was even in favor of live birth abortion. So being born is not even enough to be protected by the law of the land. If the weakest Americans, the unborn, are not safe then who is? The terrorists Can you say FUBAR?

Some folks are for an intelligence test before folks get human rights.
Some folks are for a genetic test before full human rights are allowed– to remove genetic diseases from the population.

The interesting thing is a lot of this method of narrowing human rights has been tried. But I can't say by whom, or Matthew and Patrick will be branded extremist nutjobs.

I am for an intelligence test before people are allowed to vote.

They say that this is about separating military targets and civilian targets. The USS Cole perpetrators are being tried in a military tribunal, but since when has the Pentagon not been a stragetic military target? They say that a federal trial is the best way to uphold the American ideal of Justice, but then go on to impune the innocence of the accused. How can you get a fair trial when our leader has already condemned them to the death penalty? They say this about right vs wrong, but our AG has vowed never to let KSM go free. For a system based on legal precedent this can only do harm. Our president is a lawyer, is it likely that these missteps, miscues, and the general problem posed by trying a foriegn citizen arrested on a foriegn warrant, held in a prison, not afford a single civil liberty or protection under American law causes? It is as if they are writing a book on the destruction of the Federal system.

Can you imagine being 1 of his grandchildren & knowing that the only reason you are alive is because you met the right criteria? & if you hadn't, he would have helped murder you?
