The fact that Bush has put this military tribunal thing on the table, and thus initiated this debate NOW, is nothing short of brilliant. He's smoking the looney left out of their "holes" and getting them to show their true colors. For years, they have championed the cause of moral relativism and done their best to convince the American people that there is no such thing as absolute right or wrong. With their knee-jerk response to this action by Bush, the loonies are endeavoring to defend the indefensible.
But the vast majority of the American people are pissed, and they get it: We're the good guys and the terrorists are the bad guys. We must go after the bad guys and destroy them or else they will continue to attack and kill US, the good guys.
So, we are left with the question: Why would the looney left champion with such vigor the "rights" of those who seek to destroy America? And doesn't this call into question other items on the leftist agenda? I should say so.
right on, agave. I would submit, though, that Bush's smoking out of the leftists is a byproduct of his actual goal: Justice for the evil doers. Nice to see both happening at the same time, though. :)
