<DIV>You stated our founding fathers, which include Adams and Jefferson, were terrorists. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You are incorrect that the colonies representatives were not elected by the people. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I never said all lawyers should be shot. I said the only way I would support an international court would be if all lawyers were shot in the back of the head. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nor do I view lawyers of the past the same as lawyers of today. The profession is entirely differently before the 1900s, which has become corrupted. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The backers of the attacks on 911 all deserve to be in Gitmo. I don't care where they are from. Bin Laudin is in Afghanistan/Pakistan and is harboring him. I think the US has every right to do whatever it wants to get to him and his supporters, including the imprisonment of all men in the region. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Personally, I don't think Afghanistan or Pakistan has even a right to exist as a self governing nation because of the way it treats woman, gays, lesbians, and those that are not Muslim. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>Donovan,<BR><BR>I'm sorry to find you saddened. But I never mentioned Adams, Hamilton or Jefferson, who, <BR>being lawyers YOU would just have shot out of hand - Remember, YOU said all lawyers should<BR><BR>be shot.<BR><BR>And again, you must be reading abridged history books, as there were NO states. There were<BR><BR>elected CROWN legislatures, that answered to PARLIAMENT back in London, that they turned <BR>their backs on their nation, the United Kingdom, and violated their oaths of office to the<BR>Crown. <BR>And while the King was in fact the head of government, there was, as there is today, an <BR>ELECTED parliament..... remember the American REVOLUTION was in the late 1700's, not the <BR>middle ages when a king ruled without a parliament<BR><BR>And, I referred to "legitimately elected governments", I never said democratically<BR>elected. Or is <BR>THE only legitimate form of government in your mind a democratically
elected one?<BR><BR>And as to attacking Afghanistan because they attacked us, WHERE? If you dragged out that <BR>argument based on the New York and Washington attacks, the attackers were from Saudi <BR>Arabia, NOT Afghanistan! But it seems that George Bush overlooked that. And who from Iraq<BR><BR>attacked us? Where? Or have you bought off on the WMD myth?<BR><BR>And while agree we can, and should LEGALLY detain terrorists captured in the United<BR>States, <BR>you really think we have the "right" to go into any country in the world and just seize<BR>their <BR>citizens without any kind of due process? Because if you do, that means they can also come<BR><BR>here and snatch our citizens off of our streets and do the same.<BR><BR>And President Obama DOES NOT agree, that is why he has ORDERED the prison in Cuba <BR>CLOSED, his number is 202-456-1414, call and ask if you doubt that. And you can't really<BR>be <BR>serious when you state that
the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay Prison are better off in<BR>prison <BR>than if they were free in their native countries. <BR> <BR><BR><BR>---------------------------------------------<BR>This message was sent by First Step Internet.<BR> <A href="http://www.fsr.com/" target=_blank>http://www.fsr.com/</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV><BR>-----Inline Attachment Follows-----<BR><BR>
