35. The main difference between the future crimes of our detainees and past crimes of Bush and Cheney:

Edited on Sun May-24-09 10:15 AM by Time for change

Our detainees are Muslims with no political clout -- in fact their political clout may be negative, since abusing them wins points among certain segments of our population.

Bush and Cheney, on the other hand, are Americans.

Politically, it's a no-brainer.

But morally, and for the good of our country, our leaders need to put aside politics and do what's right.

Thank you for a great explanation of this issue :thumbsup:
