Reply #91: You missed his whole point, but in the current atmosphere of

of warmongering and fearmongering which apparently is now confined only to the US, since most of the rest of the world doesn't care much about 'terra', it's no surprise that you did.

MM is absolutely correct. Allowing a small band of extremists to destroy the very foundations of this country, to let the world see that this insane religious fanatic and his ever-shrinking band of followers has succeeded in striking so much fear into the heart of America that we are frightened to hold a trial, is like looking at the death of a nation.

If we are not about the rule of law, that which makes US different from Bin Laden whose solution is to 'kill', then we are no better than the man we claim to despise.

The trial, as MM said, would have been for US far more than for Bin Laden. And had we done so, his mission would have failed. Instead, he may be dead, but he won. He 'took away our freedoms' as the inane Bush assured us was what he wanted most of all. Then, why have we given him that?
