HD vs HD - flip, flop and recant - the Osama story

[robbedvoter]

flip
that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty
flop
we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials.''
Recant - what he said
This is the exactly the kind of case that the death penalty is meant for.
"When we capture Osama bin Laden, he will be brought to justice and treated in the same manner that President Bush is recommending for Saddam Hussein."

After all that brave defense of the presumption of inocence...

Disclaimer: I formly believe in the presumption of inocence and due process, but sometimes, legal terms on highly emotional issues can have a nails on the blackboard effect. Kinda like Dukakis answer in the debate to "What if your wife were raped"

1. All these guys are being tried in the press

by global lynch mobs. Personally I think they are .... blah blah blah. I have no personal knowledge of any of their crimes. All I know is hearsay, and I can't even tell you where I heard it. It's a mantra. But candidates are asked questions, need to answer them. I don't know why they can't just say "I believe in separation of powers. As president I will prosecute, let the judicial make the judgments, which is more than the current administration is willing to do"

4. this is why I do not bother

coming to these boards, a bunch of this and thats picking on each others party hopeful, what-are a bunch of freepers here? People, get a grip, this is SERIOUS stuff, to have chimp in power for four more years will bring about changes no one wants to see. Trust me, I am already armed......if you want to support your candidate, fine, but dont bash any one elses...AT ALL, its childish......
