You realize, of course, that you are encouraging ignorant tripe like
"Most in the Bush administration are criminals of the worst kind."
CI's quoted statement here wouldn't match my notion of balanced comment (there are worse examples, of course).
But there is a very strong possibility that people in the Bush administration will, at some point in the next decade or two, face criminal prosecution under international (and perhaps US) laws and treaties on war crimes. This would not be a bad thing, other than in the context of too many Americans' notions of their nation's moral exceptionalism.
Never-the-less, uncontested by me you would provide CI with the full force and effect of your advocacy (and on A2K this is not inconsiderable) for this creteinc argument. And let's not have any doubt about it, you still have not come out with any sort of clarity that the notion that "Most in the Bush administration are criminals of the worst kind, " is a ridiculous statement.
If, however, you believe this statement to be true, you are not the person I have thought you to be, and therefore let us cast aside any charade of friendship., for my valued cyber-friendship with you is based on the fact that, irrespective of your political views, you are a man of reason.
