Really, how so?

Fair enough - I can agree with that. If you're interested, following is a link to a debate between Mr. Chomsky and Mr. Dershowitz regarding this very issue. Audio and video are available. http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/23/1450216

Amnesty International: Alan Dershowitz posed a version of this question (Los Angeles Times, November 8), when he asked: "But what if (torture) were limited to the rare "ticking bomb" case--the situation in which a captured terrorist who knows of an imminent large-scale threat refuses to disclose it? Would torturing one guilty terrorist to prevent the deaths of a thousand innocent civilians shock the conscience of all decent people?

No kidding, Bush

Alan Dershowitz stopped by a local PBS affiliate last night to remind us all that Alan Dershowitz is still a douchebag. I don

His answer: "Well, President Bush is free to think as the pleases and to say what he pleases," Ahmadinejad said. "I don

Nope, last night.

From 60 Minutes last night: Interviewer: "I asked President Bush what he would say to you if he were sitting in this chair. And he told me-quote-speaking to you, that you

Unfortunately, this applies to our current Commander in Chief as well

Ikol is a thing most foul, the bane of high school drinkers everywhere, which is to say

Ah, yes, true enough, but, if the intended message is not received, it is usually the fault of the author.

Yes, M., I have this crazy condition that makes me assume people mean what they say. For the life of me, I just cannot always detect sarcasm on the internet. Sarcasm, by the way, seems like a pretty convenient thing to claim when someone says you
