His name is Charles Jackson and is a Jersey City cop. I saw him back there a few times. He may have passed on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-38326605746452298612008-01-16T17:57:00.000-05:002008-01-16T17:57:00.000-05:00The struggle for civil rights was an inspired and ...The struggle for civil rights was an inspired and righteous cause, every step worked for and paid for by Americans who insisted that the country abide by its own Constitution and the piously touted tenants of freedom and democracy. The lawfare pursued mischievously by inmates of Guantanamo is a studied guerrilla war tactic, waged by people who have nothing but contempt for us and our values. <BR/><BR/>War is a discontinuity. It is a threat to our stable processes, and war today is fought in every conceivable dimension. Witness the efforts by al-Qaeda to mine Facebook entries for information about individual soldiers. What will they do with that, I wonder. Their greatest effort, however, has been to twist us on the rack of our own convoluted philosophical positions. We are being tormented into folly by attempts to consistently project Western standards of decency into situations where the enemy uses this very decency as a weapon against us. Yes, we should try to retain whatever decency we can -- primarily, no torture. But I'm not sure we can afford to have our legal system permanently distorted by those who hate us.jj mollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011855944240477996noreply@blogger.com
