Exactly. That's why I only get my news from Prison Planet and The Nation Of Islam website.
really...i've never been to either site.

ever.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who isn't a radical Islamist would give an asswipe about Bin Laden's demise. Who honestly wishes he was still alive?

Their cause is destroying Israel. They outright state that.
israel does not include the west bank and east jerusalem and gaza.
they oppose THAT israel.
Moore is just upset that Al-Qaeda lost since they were the "minutemen" he hoped would humble America with defeat in Iraq.
He wanted him alive so that bin Laden would stand trial. What do you think about that? I have my own thoughts but they are rooted in finding out if Moore really understands that the world has changed because of 9-11. I think that he thinks it has not changed.
...so the 'rule of law' has become irrelevant?
According to the rule of law US forces should never have entered Pakistan.
Correct?
yes...so you say...Enemy combatants.
they have been killing people in pakistan for years with drones.
why stop there?
the u.s does not care about the rule of law....rendition and guantanamo, as examples.
So they should have never inserted the seal team into Pakistan in the first place because it was a violation of the rule of law. Is that correct?
it is a violation of the rule of law...yes.
it a little futile to discuss whether they should have done it or not.
it's done, obl is fishfood.
the rule of law has become irrelevant to the united states.
Well, you may think it's futile to discuss whether the US should have planned and run the mission because OBL is dead, but discussing past events and whether the decisions and choices that have been made were moral, smart or pragmatic is a large part of what goes on here at JREF. So just to clarify the matter- is it your opinion that this mission should have not been launched because it was a violation of law?
personally, i believe it was a good idea that he was captured.
i do not agree with the handling of the matter following that, but i feel that the world is a better place for his removal.
Of course, we can argue on the way this mission went down based on a variety of other grounds. But the "rule of law" objection seems inconsistent and inappropriate.
whatever...so shoot me.
to borrow a word from novest....american 'apocrazy' is tangible.
for a country that often claims to take the moral high ground, their disregard for law is amazing.
