OK, this is mostly an open letter to Senator McCain, but Lieberman and a few other menaces to society should listen up too.
Dear Senator McCain,
I’m addressing this to you but it’s for many others as well.
As a veteran, I’m speaking soldier to soldier to you, but I’m also speaking soldier to civilian to so many other people in your camp who believe we should not give a fair trial to the terror suspects. Lastly, I’m speaking soldier to draft dodger to a few of the remaining people in your camp who feel the way you do.
You think it’s inconceivable? You think these human beings should not be tried in a court of law?
You think it sends a mixed message??? How much clearer can it be Mr McCain.
🙁
Or to quote my very first drill instructor ever, it’s that
simple, private! If freedom is worth fighting for, then it is worth
trying people in our courts of law under the laws that apply to them.
Have you never read up on Alien Tort? Have you never read the Amistad
decision, both majority and minority? Please do. Please get your head
out of your sphincter, stop running for office for a few precious minutes
and for once try to remember what it was like when YOU fought for the due
process you deserved as a citizen of the United States, as a human being
and as a soldier and warrior.
Can you not afford that same inalienable right to your enemies? I bet you
can’t. I can. I have that much confidence.
Or are you perhaps afraid that some of these horrible people will finger
you in their open court cases that you are so desperately and aggressively
blocking!!!
Maybe you had something to hide during 9/11? I’m NOT accusing you, I’m just
asking. Maybe you’re not really on the side against torture afterall. How
can you reconcile being against due process and for human rights?
How can you? Tell me this. I need to know.
