How symmetrical, bringing terror to the terrorists.

That must be terrifying to these guys hunkering down in a mud walled compound. They KNOW these drones are always up there much too high to see, out of sight, but can count the nose hairs on their unshaven mugs. They must live with the reality that these "predators" (great name by the way- adds to the mystique), can at any given moment unleash hell fire on their ass. At any given moment, out go the lights. That kind of psychological torture warms my heart.

Wow, H! I never took you for that sort of guy...First the snakes, now cheering for this? Seems your neck might be a little redder than I thought!

who, me or Larry. If it is me, they used to call me the Nazi Hippy. The dichotomy is strong.

Great article. So the real question is, why are not doing what it takes to win at home? Terror trials in NYC, miranda rights for the underwear bomber

Miranda rights for underwear bomber? I hear all this talk about rights of.... I thought you had to be a U.S. citizen to have American rights?
I'm all for reading someone their rights. I am also for a judge signing a warrant that allows torture to be used to extract information.(I believe that a properly signed warrant would fulfill "due process") As for the terror trials. Let the games begin. I have all the faith in the world that the good people of New York if properly "voir Dire" 'd would come to a proper conclusion.
I just didn't think that all of this pomp and circumstance extended to non-citizens.

I was talking of you Hugh. We all know that Larry would like to get into a knife fight in a phone booth with a terrorist. You just surprise me with your non PC stance.

While we are bombing terrorists, perhaps we should hit Tim Mcveighs, Eric Rudolphs, etc home town a couple times, you know, just to show that terrorism doesn't pay...

When we forget who we, as a people are, and start acting like "them" we have lost. Truth and justice are what add respect to our country.

Just more misplaced over reaction. Food poisoning kills more people every year then 9/11 did, yet it gets almost no attention, or funding. Drop a couple billion in effective aid to those people and you will marginalize the true extremists, limit them to the back country, and then, yes, kill them. But the whole kill them all and let god sort them out is part of the reason we are in this mess to begin with, and it sure as hell is not the way out...

But, that is just me, you know, a liberal, bleeding heart left wing, pussy.

at least ya can admit it Wes..that is a start to recovery....real problem is that neither the neocons nor the libs have any idea how to combat this issue successfully. personally, "effective aid" is a contradiction. Haiti being a classic example of corruption and power screwing the little guy, even as we have poured billions into their economy over the decades....
