Guantanamo Bay - Blagojevich - Obama
Ensuring that humans get fair trials is an honorable act.
This is the goal. Having secret trials is unamerican. Blame ACLU lawyers or
liberals or whatever you wish but a fair trial used to be the hallmark of
being American.
The worst of our society are the ones that need protection. Who would
question that mother Theresea or some other saint should be afforded a fair
trial? No one. But the hated, the underdog is who must be vigilantly
protected, not because of any affection for him but for loyalty to our
system of laws. If they waiver in accordance with who is on trial then they
are not laws at all but merely subterfuge and window dressing to executing
or incarcerating humans on the basis of popularity.
Blagojevich hearing is a popular contest.
