Inane editorial
The Terrorists= off with his head,off with her head,off with his head. That's the humane way to treat prisoners of war. Get real Woehr! A, Switch the "shining city on the hill" metaphor for America to "darkest dungeon in the swamp"? You do realize that the Nuremburg position is that we can only prosecute malefactors for crimes that exceed our own actions? This means that if we torture, we can no longer prosecute anybody else for torturing our citizens. It also means that we can have no complaint if other countries try our soldiers in their military tribunals using testimony extracted under torture. It's not about what they do, it's about what we do. A truism applicable to all decisions we face everyday. Oh please Mr. Terrorist I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything..but, could you just release my family BEFORE they are be-headed? I would like to talk about this. Can we talk about this? I just know you are a good hearted jihadist with no ill feelings toward most of the Christian world that you are trying to dominate then, turn into good little Muslims. Who's trying to dominate the world? I'll answer that, the same group that perpetrated 9/11, Bushco and the neocons. The point Woehr raises is about the editors at the Rocky. Could they be that misinformed or forgetful? More likely they are frightened employees that are so fearful about losing their jobs that they will say anything that might curry favor with their bosses. Or course they could be clever people that only talk about morality to cheat their readers. At one time the Media tried to be journalists. They tried to have ethics and an obligation to the public. Perhaps they now only info-tainers. Actors and performers that strive to please the moneymen who bankroll the show. A, nevermind, I see what type of person you are. Gee, I'm devastated Skank. ONE person who doesn't like me. I am quite happy with my opinion concerning terrorists! A's apparent notion that we either need to waterboard them or cowtow to them lacks something. Perhaps intelligence? Truth, yeah. They just don't get it do they? Insinuating stupidity on my part and insulting me for my opinion is what Skank and Truth call intelligence?? Whoa!! no I call it "noticing a loon by his outbursts". All that is left is trading amusing epithets and insults. Yet you respond anyway skank, that is brilliant. I bet you never wore the dunce cap in grade school did you?
'KSM' a reminder of the heart of darkness, March 16) was exceedingly inane. If American civilization has declined to the point where journalists take seriously the government's gloating over confessions extracted by torture, I don't know what to think. Whatever happened to your newspaper's blathering on about "Give the people light
so is it your belief that we should match the practices of the worst of the worlds regimes?
If I give you 72 virgins will you just tell me when the next 911 will take place?
If I convince all the American supermarkets to take pork away from the meat counters will you spill the beans then?
If I request that all American women wear the shame scarves around their heads and carry a prayer rug with them and bow to men all day, will you open up a little and give me some vital information as to when your going to kill my next of kin?
If I have offended you Mr. Terrorist.........
After his last little, um, outburst, I figured it was pointless trying to discuss anything with him.
Maybe he had a bad reaction to meds or something ;)
Your further comments confirm that it's a waste of time trying to discuss anything with you.
