No matter who you are, you'll always have people disliking you, wether you are a person on a forum or a powerful country. Alliances tend to be tenuous at best. They get made, broken, made, broken.

NO! I clearly said in post #31 that I am against the indefinite house arrest, and I clearly said in the "What to do with the Guantanamo four" (post #11) that they should be given due process. FFS people, at least read my posts before pouncing on me. Let me be abundantly clear on this:
1) I am against indefinite house arrest, of the Guantanamo 4 without charge.
2) I believe they should have been given due process all the way.
They same applies to other alleged terrorists. As most of the alleged terrorists have been, they have been arrested and then released through lack of admissable evidence.

It doesn't get that detailed. For one thing you can't prejudice the jury. The questions they ask are things like, have you ever met the defendent before, etc.
Reminds me of something funny
