Reply #57: Who exactly is this WE?

And what do mean by KNOW? You've been told for the last 8 years that these people are too dangerous to be allowed to go free, and you've swallowed it without any evidence at all (being told to trust the president's word and that it would be to dangerous to even tell you how the government knows they're too dangerous). The fact is, you know no such thing. Hundreds of these people have been eventually released with no charges against them, because they were just ordinary people that our system was totally and completely wrong about. Of the ones were were right about, the "normal" process has been able to deal with them just fine, thank you. We've convicted far more terrorists through our court system than through any network of secret tribunals and illegal incarceration camps.

As far as the ones that we don't have sufficient evidence on, we do the same thing that we do when there is insufficient evidence against a serial killer or a Mafia don...we obey the Constitution and uphold the rule of law, and let them go until we DO have evidence. Do you have a problem with that? What are you so afraid of?
