How is it that a terrorist who has confessed to wanting to run a plane into the White House is still on trial, but a soldier who used a dog to get a terrorist to confess and save millions of possible lives is already convicted? Am I the only one who thinks that the American justice system is a little messed up?

The American justice system is a little messed up, but it is nothing, nothing at all in comparison with the British legal system.

Yes. Having a justice system based on rules of evidence and judicial procedures is pretty messed up. It certainly does not reflect any notion of "freedom" (which, BTW, is not free).

Sure.

Read any of the "free thinkers" here at rhp. If that doesn't explain it, nothing can. Everything is relative. Truth is just something that we argue about in a "logical" way. Truth is not something real, so don't worry about it. It's the "process" that counts. Stinkin' lawyers getting killers off is what matters. Marching with cute little candles is what matters. Lining up to support killers is what matters. Sending their best and brightest to defend Saddam is what matters.

Hope that helps.

And? I am on the wagon since last July. If you need a drink, feel free. If you can find a really ugly girl that doesn't mind being felt.

Since the advent of the slavery state within the US (wherein all former citizenry became 'employees' of the federal government), the judicial system has not been about justice, or determining that which is right or that which is wrong.

Automatically categorizing anyone who ends up being detained by the US as a terrorist is a peculiar form of justice in itself.

Gosh, I thought the guy with the dog was just a masochistic grunt who got his jollies off of torturing people. But you're saying he saved millions of lives? All those people torturing prisoners were freaking heroes! PURE GENIUS!! Makes me proud to be an american, land of the free baby.

The only thing really being debated about Moussaoui is whether or not they're going to kill him for his crimes. Sorry to say many key people in the Bush administration have provided the best defense he could have ever come up with.

What you SHOULD be proud of is living in a nation that DIDN'T allow the crimes of it's military to go unpunished. We did catch and prosecute all them didn't we? Baby?

You are so caught up in self hate and self loathing that i can't help but admit that you probably have a point. You know youself best. If you hate yourself as badly as you seem to... then who am I to talk you into the notion that we live in the best damn nation on earth?

Go outside and kick a dog. It'll make you feel even worse about yourself.

I notice you are planning your escape from the US. How much you need. I'll pay the ticket if you promise never to return.

No need. I was simply referring to the observation that the logic of the stitching that connects your epigrams is often more perceptible when I match you drink for drink.
