Like Richard Reid did, flying around the Mediterranean in funny shoes, before he put on the real bomb shoes and boarded the flight to the U.S.
Do I smell sulfur?
Is he lighting a match or is Satan just glad to see him?
Yeah, Reid is proof Bush and Ashcroft are soft. Here was a perfect test case for military tribunals -- caught red handed, firmly tied to Al Qaeda by the Wall Street Journal, and not a US citizen. Yet, instead of trying him in double time and executing him, they let the vile critter plead guilty in a civilian court and get off with a jail sentence.
Now FDR! There was a hard guy! When a group of Nazi sabateurs were caught after arriving on our shores via U-boat, they received an expedited military trial and were promptly fried in the Washington, DC electric chair. Roosevelt seized the opportunity to set an example! Yet Reid came a lot closer to killing a bunch of Americans than those miserable Krauts ever did.
