“… we canâ€™t have acquittals. If weâ€™ve been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? We canâ€™t have acquittals, weâ€™ve got to have convictions.”

R E M E M B E R:
The convictions come with the death sentence.

All good dictators understand the need to cover one’s tracks. In this case, how can a dead man speak truth? And how can that truth shed light on the events of 9-1-1?

Will it always be 19 box cutters?
Will 3.5 oz. of shampoo always explode?
Will being Muslim always make me the suspect?

For someone of so little consequence, the troll Francine has now been mentioned in approximately half the posts on this thread. It’s amazing what a troll can do with a few words. I bet it’s thrilled.

Sorry about the rant but Iâ€™m mad as hell. And I would finish the statement but am afraid some nimrod would accuse me of plagiarism.

Nah. Just righteous anger. We used to have a word for countries which had secret prisons and kangaroo courts. We called them “enemies”.

Make no mistake, enemies of America have seized control of our government. However, We The People are waking up. Hang in there, Shayne, there is room for hope.

And the same party that Frank belongs to is threatening to “lynch” Michelle Obama for being “really proud” of her country for the first time in her adult life. Well I’m not proud of my country yet. Maybe after Barack is elected I can be proud, finally. This country led by Reagan, Bush 1 & 2, and the weakness of the people that allowed Clinton to be impeached for trying to be discreet about a sex act. The people have still not demanded to know what happened to JFK, MLK, Robert Kennedy and how this is all tied up to GHW Bush, Texas and the mess we’re in now. We’re the country than invades sovereign nations and tortures, wow, I sure am proud.

Sounds like the same kind of “justice” that was handed out in Stalin’s Russia.

Haynes should be tried immediately in an international court for obstruction of justice. Fair and impartial Justice is unfortunately unavailable in the U.S. Justice system, as long as the criminals and idiots in the Bush Administration are in charge. They continue to embarrass and shame our country with this kind of crap.

So it’s more important to convict somebody wrongly accused than it is to see justice done. After all, we must do everything possible to avoid admitting that we might have made a mistake in imprisoning somebody.

And kool-aid drinkers like Frank M. think this is the right thing to do.

What happened to the America I love? What happened to our values?

Before what ?

No idea, Frankie didn’t tell us. Before Bush, maybe?

To be serious, our governmental and military leaders need to get one thing damn straight: the Constitution of the United States of America is not an optional guideline but the very fabric of our democracy. Burning THAT fabric is a sh**load more dangerous than flag burning. So, Frankie can stuff his coloquilism into his methane producing orifice and put that fire out.

No thanks for the thuggish two-word drop, Frank.

Potentially false convictions with no appeal. Confirms repubs want to empower the terrorists.
