Re: Pot calling the Kettle

I don’t condone this form of policing the world; the problem is that if this is true, “and they are admitting that these flights take place” we all have something to worry about. Is this not the same as happened in countries like Argentina back in the 70s? Suspect just being lifted and disappearing? Did we not supposedly fight two wars in the Middle East because Saddam remove his opponents in similar way? The thing that separates us from the average despot is the Rule of Law, when we become above the law, we become despots in our own right do we not. Mr Bush may be becoming a little tyrannical is his approach to his war on Terrorism and is fast becoming a Terrorist in his own right. Where do we draw the line and when should we accept that the rule of law fails in it primary task? And sanction the Americans self imposed right to be policeman, judge and Jury. Don’t get me wrong I do believe that we should spare the system the expense of suffering a terrorist to live in our prisons, a bullet is the only true defence against a person bent on mass murder, but who are the Terrorists now?
