I agree with this post. Someone is only innocent until proven guilty in court. The rest of us are free draw whatever conclusion we want. On the other hand, the issue here is whether it might turn out the government could be wrong.

I am always willing to allow for the possibility that the government is wrong. But then I believe in freedom and that the government needs proof to take away the liberty of free citizens. Clearly despite the name “FreeRepublic” many here do not from time to time.

We also believe in due process, but that doesn't mean we have to stop making reasonable moral judgments.

I think most people would agree that OJ was guilty DESPITE the jury decision!

Also, the Government has a legitimate responsibility to protect the innocent from the evil, so this is not an issue of the Gov't overstepping it's powers.

Just because this is FreeRepublic' doesn't mean it is anti-Government.
