it's always been easier... indeed. Just holding people in a fenced area without a proper court decision calling them terrrorist because they are on 'a list'.
I admire those who stand before the lynch mobs and defend the american system of justice - noone is guilty unless sentenced in front of a proper court. It's a sweat job to enforce nowadays but someone's got to do it.
if there's a line between justice and the mob - i'd like to step over it, too !
Maybe it's too early for me, but I am not understanding what you are saying at all. I'll try some coffee and check back later.
