You're right! It's wrong the way Secretary Ashcroft is treating these terrorist prisoners!

It's time American treats these goons the same way Japan treated our captured boys during WWII. Why are we being so nice to these terrorists!!

Screw what the Japanese did! This is America dammit! We can't bypass the Constitution every time something happens simply to satisfy our lust for revenge.

As soon as we give in to these urges, we set a precedent, which will be used as justification for the next abomination. Eventually, our nation ceases to be a free land for any of us. Some of us believe we're already there.

I'd rather die as a free person than live in a safe, secure police state.

And before anyone pipes in with the standard "The Constitution is not a suicide pact" retort, please take a look at the following essay:
Constitutional Suicide
It does a better job of trashing that repulsive load of crap than I can.
