| 55. Strawman. Geraldo is not at issue. |
|
Hayworth is, himself, relying on a strawman as well; this is not a war anything at all like WWII, and as we already know, the potential for abuses on the part of commanders, both military and civilian, and the administration running the show as well, is very high.
"Certain things?" Which 'certain things'? Plame? Abu Ghraib? Guantanamo? NSA spying? To accept the idea, even the core concepts, of media censorship because "we're at war" renders legitimacy to the war- the which, it does not have.
I'm against it, period, because I know this group will abuse it.
