The Justice vs. War Schism

This is going to cause problems.

The biggest paradigm difference between myself and my (Left*) friends on this issue is that they are certain we should be dealing with terrorists as criminals.

That logic is the foundation of my friend's belief in:
  • Guantanemo's closure
  • Bush's impeachment
  • Illegal war
  • Wiretapping of foreigners is unnecessary
  • Rendition
  • "Torture"
But if Holder believes we're at war; it follows that he believes we must behave as if we're at war.

And that is going to cause enormous problems.


*You know who you are and that "Left" is a non-derisive label
