What was a farce was locking them up, denial of habeous corpus, and the shredding of the constitution by Bush and Cheney. The 93 WTC bombers were tried in civilian court. The shoe bomber was tried in civilian court. John Walker Lindh was tried in civilian court. "Illegal combatants" isn't even the invented term Bush created to suspend legal rights - it was ENEMY combatants...but there's nothing I like more than debating with folks who have their head jammed up their red, white and blue asshole, so feel free to expound on your theory. Especially interested in how you determine punishment BEFORE you have a fucking trial. It would seem the teabaggers are right...America is going down the tubes...and it's dicks like you that insist on yanking the chain. It’s not a farce at all.

It's a farce that they're being given civilian trials.

I think of law as the final process in the legal & political rats' digestive processes. (aka ratshit.) What comes out all depends what they like to eat. Unless terrorist trials become a permanent fixture, in which case everyone's rights will be long gone anyhow, I don't think there will be much additional side-effects on people's rights because of these trials. Why? Largely because the damage is already done. But also because I think this era may become one of those forgotten eras. People "just want all the bad stuff to go away" and that probably includes those in the legal racket. That's a big part of the reason why many Democrats want to let Americans responsible for torture get away with it. They just want it to fade from memory, so they can have their old "Good-Guy" self-image back. I am reminded of the Star Trek episode where the cast of Deep Space 9 is send back into an original Star Trek episode that included Klingons that did not look like Warf or any of the other Kilngons in Deep Space 9. He explained it by saying something to the effect of "It was a dark time in our history. One that we do not like to talk about." I suspect this will be the same way. America will eagerly forget any of this ever happened and will return to it's deluded self-image as the champion of democracy and human rights that it had for a long, long, time before all this nasty image tarnishing stuff. 183 Waterboarding sessions…because 182 just didn’t do the trick.

It's a bit heavier, but it works much better than the modern plastic piece of shit I now use as a backup. (And, yes, I need two coolers some days.) And it's retro-cool to boot!
