Isnt one day of freedom better than a lifetime of imprisonment, though?Brunettes said:I'm starting to think that Saddam knew the only way to keep them under control. I know there were alot innocent people that were killed by him but at least they wern't getting blown up when they go to the market.
Now we're being blamed for the Mosque bombing...it's time to leave and write it up in the history books as "the time U.S. made a big mistake"
That's some idealistic BS right there. Man, you are wading in it these days.BurlyShirley said:Isnt one day of freedom better than a lifetime of imprisonment, though?
So you think life under a dicatator is better, then? Thats awesome. I suppose you think slavery should still be around because too many people died in our civil war.BeerDemon said:That's some idealistic BS right there. Man, you are wading in it these days.

No need for us to do anything, they'll do it themselves. Everyone wants their piece of the land back..then you've got the ones that want power, they've all got religous problems and it makes for something that will never end.N8 said:Kill them all and let Allah sort 'em out..?
I'll just keep quoting you while you continue to exponentially increase the dumb factor of your posts.BurlyShirley said:So you think life under a dicatator is better, then? Thats awesome. I suppose you think slavery should still be around because too many people died in our civil war.

Better then being worried I'll be blown up if i step outside, or shot by either side, or kidnapped for talking to a foreigner?BurlyShirley said:So you think life under a dicatator is better, then?

Kinda. It's getting old now though. You yanks have a working, room temperature tabletop fusion reactor now though, if you want to update it.BeerDemon said:You love my sig.

actually it's perfectly legal to intercept comunications coming into and originating from the U.S. aimed at a know enemy, as long as one end of the communication is not U.S. based. If I called germany during WWII it would be legitimate to tap the call. That precedent was set and tested during the Carter administration. :nonono:ohio said:And illegal wiretapping is freedom's chalk outline.
But who's blood are we talking about? It doesn't mean sh*t if it isn't our own.BurlyShirley said:Blood is freedom's stain, canuck.

Which is why you'll note that I wrote illegal wiretapping. Yes, there is perfectly legal wiretapping that allows us to surveil pretty much anyone, even if the calls are purely domestic/internal. For some reason that wasn't sufficient for Bush et al, and he decided to conduct ILLEGAL wiretaps in addition to the legal ones.noname said:actually it's perfectly legal to intercept comunications coming into and originating from the U.S. aimed at a know enemy, as long as one end of the communication is not U.S. based.

The only reason I can possibly come up with was that he wanted to avoid even the minimal oversight of a retroactive, secret court. Why would he want to avoid that oversight? Well, while his motivation for doing it matters to me, at doesn't really matter to the law... which he very clearly broke.
