“… they belittled Clinton’s efforts because he merely imprisoned lots of terrorists.” And, damn, the terrorists he imprisoned are now all…still imprisoned. Shows what you can do if you have a clue. Can we now have a public apology from all the Republicans who made nasty comments about Janet Reno, our last competent Attorney General?

This just supports the administration’s long-time claim that trials are not the way to conduct the war on terror. As you recall, they belittled Clinton’s efforts because he merely imprisoned lots of terrorists. Everybody knows that’s ineffective. Had we simply shot these guys once we “knew” they were terrorists, we wouldn’t have to let their corpses go free now.

“Dropping these convictions because of prosecutorial misconduct (and dropping charges against Hamdi and helping to screw up the German terror trial) send a clear message: we have absolutely no fucking idea what’s going on. Please replace us at your earliest convenience.”

Typical liberal pessimism. Shame on you. Of course there are going to be a couple of wrong convictions and false arrests – but it’s for the greater good. Besides, God told Bush it was ok.

“So, are we supposed to be feeling more or less safe now?”

More of us are supposed to be feeling less safe.

Moral of story: guys with Middle Eastern names take vacation videos at their peril, since that was some of the “evidence” introduced at the trial. The guys who drew the maps of the Citibank boardrooms are on the loose, but guys who take videotapes of s**t in plain view are getting nailed. Yeah, I feel a whole lot safer.
