It's easy when you ain't the one suffering.Other Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475658453374184885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947972.post-899412931525806952006-12-27T10:02:00.000-06:002006-12-27T10:02:00.000-06:00Look, OS, if I call the cops and tell them that yo...Look, OS, if I call the cops and tell them that you just nurdered my wife Iand she's dead, bullet-to-the-head) they're likely to bop over and take you into custody.<br /><br />Under CIVIL law, (not MILITARY law) you have some rights--but they will interrogate you. <br /><br />Now let's further assume that one of my chilluns corroborates my lie. Think that the cops are going to simply ask you "Did you do it?" and on your denial, say "So sorry!! Our Mistake!!" and let you wander off?<br /><br />Think again.<br /><br />And then there IS this little "military law" problem.<br /><br />It is still a war zone. Shit happens. And OS, in the end, the guy was released, right? Unharmed, other than his "psychological damages," right?Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947972.post-10568369895053282422006-12-26T11:34:00.000-06:002006-12-26T11:34:00.000-06:00Hi dad.

In other words, it was perfectly okay for Vance (a U.S. citizen and Navy vet) to be treated as he was, because someone lied.<br /><br />That same excuse is used for the false reasons for our entry into war with Iraq. When is this administration and its apologists ever going to take just a little responsibility for the mess we're in?Other Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475658453374184885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947972.post-32130659972948807162006-12-26T10:52:00.000-06:002006-12-26T10:52:00.000-06:00How about a LOGICAL explanation..such as:

When asked for verification, the first informant told military authorities to inquire of a second informant.<br /><br />"After some investigation, US authorities have now arrested both "informants" who were actually the weapons-traders named by Vance.</i><br /><br />Although Ockham's Razor has some serious philosophical problems, the "consider the simplest answer first" suggestion is not without merit.<br /><br />Vance had enemies who wanted him out of the way. That's simple.<br /><br />"Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfield took turns listening to Vance's phone calls...in order to protect Halliburton's contracts in Iraq..."<br /><br />...is just a bit outlandish, no?Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.com
