I don’t know whether or not Ali al-Marri is a terrorist or an enemy combatant or not. Some of the evidence the U.S. government says it has against the guy is pretty damning. But I know one thing: The United States is a nation that should operate under the rule or law. If the courts say this guy deserves a trial, then he ought to get one. If our laws are to be ignored when it’s inconvenient, then they mean nothing. That’s not a pro-terrorist statement; that’s a pro-America statement.
…and he’s 100% right. 100%. Every word. As a friend said to me this past week, “if it can happen to him, it can happen to you and me, and that’s not the America I know or want.”
Well said, Billy. The sad thing is you had to say it at all. And shame on the rest of the government AND the people of this country for letting King George and his snarling asshole of a henchman Cheney get away with this.

Sorry, B.J. … you’ve got your executives reversed. It’s King Dick and his smiling monkey figurehead (the “compassionate” conservative), Incurious George.

I always generate odd looks and comments with my insistence that President Shamely is pulling the strings. Glad I’m not the only one.

As Chancellor Cheney would say, “So?”
