Putting the 'torture' nonsense, and the Obamanation's attempt to criminalize political differences into perspective

Cliff May:

"Terrorists are not criminal defendants with a 'right to remain silent.' They are not prisoners of war obligated only to recite only name, rank, and serial number. They are 'not, in fact, people entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention.' Those are the words of Eric Holder, Obama’s attorney general (on CNN, January 2002) who added that had Mohamed Atta 'survived the attack on the World Trade Center, would we now be calling him a prisoner of war? I think not. Should Zacarias Moussaoui be called a prisoner of war? Again, I think not.

...and:

"......But let’s not sacrifice a single American life to score public-relations points in the cafés of Europe. Nor should we delude ourselves into believing that kinder, gentler American interrogations will prevent otherwise peace-loving Muslims from signing up to suicide-bomb kindergartens and saw off the heads of captured infidels.

We should fight this war in as civilized a manner as possible — understanding that this is a war against an enemy who is utterly ruthless and unscrupulous and who should not be permitted to prevail anytime, anywhere."
