How low can you go

I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. :confused:

I think there is no limit on how low terrosists can go, so thank goodness we have a guy here willing to do what it neccessary to protect innocent people from them.

Funny, I don't ever remember "Cliffy" here posting any outrage at all over beheadings, slavery, terror attacks, using mentally ill women as bombs.....very strange what he focuses on.

A Question for all you liberals.
 
While your at work your wife, 5 year old daughter, 2 year old son, your new baby girl, your parents are preparing a birthday party for you. Five Terrorists with hoods and all break into your house and capture your family. They then burry your entire family in a shallow grave with enough air to last 4 hours. When one of the terrorists makes a phone call for ransom he is captured by police while tracing the call. Now the question: To what extreme do you go to save your family?

How low can I go? Well, I could vote for Hillary or Obama...that's about as low as I can go, I believe....

You have terrorists in your neighborhood? Strange.

Replace the words "Five Terrorists" with "Five Criminals" and it is a familiar police situation. What would professional Police departments do?

Forms of coercion are necessary in desperate situations. When the government engages in forms already deemed against the law, at least transparency and oversight is required. Many times situations are no where near as desperate as you portray, and many times the forms are illegal. It would be nice to know how many times the administration broke the law on their claim of "the means justifies the ends".

Before you cite Rare and EXTREME situations to justify your EXTREME argument be aware of the civil rights slipery slope you are accepting.

If KR's situation played out there are NO civil rights for the abductor. He's just forfeited all of them.

Torture,drugging,maiming are all now in play and fully justifiable in my book.

Kr,
Your paranoia is not becoming of you. And then, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they are not really out to get you. :D :D :D

Familiar? Where? Maybe in Detroit. In certain neighborhoods. Almost never in most areas. Home invasions occur regular now. But almost never are the bad guys still there when the police arrive. And most home invasions are drug related.

Tom 02-09-2008 05:22 PM

Whatever it takes. No matter who the bad guy is. Operative word here is bad.
At some point, the "presumption" of innocence is just plain ridiculous. We are far to easy on criminals in this country.

I read an article in the Post today - a cop killer from 1973 is getting out. Funny, the cop is still dead.
