11. I figure this guy will cooperate fully.

The US is wrong to play games with civil liberties.
These guys aren't "bin Laden" or huge existential threats to the USA.
Not close.
I figure it's proven that the US was wrong in the first place to work outside the law in dealing with 21st century terrorism. The US created a fucking mess by doing so.

It's time for the US to review all the anti-civil-libertarian laws it introduced under GWB and continued under BHO. It simply isn't necessary to change the world so radically in the direction of repression and the denial of those human rights so long fought for. Those who fought for human rights *said* this would happen, that what was so hard gained would be fought against with relentless force and has to be just as strongly defended.

Everyone who has some acquaintance with war knows that every war begins with a pretext. The pretext might be true or false, but it is never proportionate to the response or to the response to that response.

Same with the decade long war against the human rights that several centuries of our ancestors fought for. It may be called a "war on terror", but in fact it is a war on those human rights.
