I have mixed emotions about this. I really do not believe the country
can afford this distraction when we have serious work to do.
(like ending the war and actually finding a reasonable disposition of
these suspects)


There is your problem, thinking that the war will ever be over. We may
leave Iraq, we may leave Afghanistan but, the war will never be over.

.... but the idea of a bunch of lawyers going to jail does seem
somewhat appealing to me. ;-)


True but, jailing or attempting to jail people for their ideas sets a
bad precedent.
