It's like the old proverb: when you shoot at a king, you must kill him. Otherwise you're going to end up worse off, and he's going to end up stronger than before. Now, after seeing the military judge, Navy Capt. Keith Allred, throw out evidence obtained against Hamdan under "highly coercive" interrogation rules, there are even questions about what self-declared terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will get the judge to disallow under this new precedent. Hamdan likely wasn't waterboarded by the CIA, as Mohammed was. There is a reason why, at Nuremberg, no one tried to try Adolf Hitler's driver.

Your assumption about going to Iraq being doen for ISrael's sake in not supported by the facts.

Bush did it for his own reasons not the one you so mindlessly put forth.

Actually, it was a general consensus of the early web community (and is still the overwhelming consensus) that caps are shouting.

Also it has been proven dozens of times (in various studies) that posts in all caps are harder to read. That is why it is called TITLE CASE in the printing world. Because it should be reserved for special use.

Of course if you think that your stuff is not important enough to be read then use all caps. It says volumes about your intellect.

Actually, the driver of a boss is not always guilty of anything other than aiding and abetting.
Did he know what was going one. Probably. Does that make him as guilty as those who plan it and carry it out? No.

No one said he was innocent, just that he was not the same as Bin Laden.
