The hysteria continues in other threads: Will US citizens be subject to eternal detention?
"The issue is moot during President Obama?s tenure, since ?it is the firm position of the Obama Administration that suspected terrorists arrested inside the United States will?in keeping with long-standing tradition?be processed through our Article III courts, as they should be,? and that ?when it comes to U.S. citizens involved in terrorist-related activity, whether they are captured overseas or at home, we will prosecute them in our criminal justice system.? As the President reiterated today, ?my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation.? "
Nothing is as comforting as a “moot” issue.[/quote]
And if I held a gun to your head but said I wouldn’t pull the trigger, would you also defend me on the internet? Obama isn’t exactly known for keeping his word and besides, how many presidents from this point forward do you think will abuse this power? If the answer is one or greater, we have a big fucking problem. If you answer 0, can I buy some crack off you? [/quote]
Please take the time to read the other posts in this thread and the links to original sources and thoughtful critics. You may find them somewhat more informative than cartoons.
When you have done so, I might choose to spend time in conversation. Until then, no thanks, junior.
PS. It looks like the fellow in your avatar is putting the moves on SpeedoBoy.
Time for a new boyfriend, eh?

So, exactly which part of indefinite detainment without trial are you in support of? All jokes aside, are you honestly in support of this, or just playing devil’s advocate? (read; are you actually retarded, or just pretending to be?)
Also, don’t you talk about my boyfriend. He may be weak as shit, but god dammit does he ever love my Speedo.
