That's why I was hoping we wouldn't catch either of them alive. Now we just start the near endless flushing of tax money to heal, protect, try, etc. vermin.

Ivory towers up in here.
For the record, now that we know the living piece of shit is a US citizen, as opposed to the squished swiss cheese one, there's no way he should be treated as an enemy combatant. I fucking hate that, but it's a line that just can't be crossed.
Re: civil liberties.
John Stewart had a great bit this week about the official report on Bush-era torture and the comparisons made by that commission to the Japanese internment. One of the commission members made a comment about how, in the midst of WWII it was "understandable, at the time" why the internment happened.
Stewart called up George Takei (who, along w/his family, had their property seized, were illegally 5detained, and forced into camps), to see if it was, indeed, "understandable, at the time".
Per George, it was not.
As far as I am concerned, this is the definitive article on this week's events.
Kids die in just about every war or conflict we're involved in. And the number skyrockets if you consider 12-15 to be a kid. We kill a lot of stupid idealistic teenagers.
I guarantee that our government has killed a kid or two this year. Maybe it wasn't called operation 'beat on the brats' but its happened. But those two dumbass killers this week probably didn't plan to kill kids either. They sat out to kill people, probably adults. If they wanted to kill kids they'd sat the bombs by a playground or strapped it under a bus. Something pretty easy to do considering most buses are put into rows and left on vacant lots.
If you don't like for kids to die needlessly, never ask or expect for your own country to go to war. There are almost always civilian casualties. And the longer the conflict is, the more likely some of them will be kids.
Nah, I bet you'd wish you'd worked harder on weaponizing recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology and particle physics.
