But Doug, nobody is grabbing people at random. We are being selective.

Do you know how many laws there are? I bet you're breaking a large

Probably - but not in Afghanistan.

Maybe so. And if you were grabbed off the street & tossed in jail with
no chance to prove you *weren't* fighing for the Taliban, you'd be
pretty PO'd.


Yup! If I were grabbed off the streets of Richmond, Va. or even Sydney or
London I'd feel really picked on. OTOH if I went to Kabul .....
