Wow. This would take all weekend to play. I wonder who thinks up these things?
It was actually fun, what I played of it, and I know that is not the point. My issue with prosecutions of this nature have always been the same: Go for the big guys. It was, after all, their paradigm. The investigation and prosecution of the practitioners doesn't punish the king makers.
Where the Hell is Sean Hannity's card? That chickenhawk needs to be on the team, especially after running away with his tail tucked so tightly between his legs after backing out of his offer to be waterboarded for charity.
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who loves his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.
Reverend G R Gleig, survived the First Anglo-Afghan War to write in 1843:
...a war begun for no wise purpose, carried on with a strange mixture of rashness and timidity, brought to a close after suffering and disaster, without much glory attached either to the government which directed, or the great body of troops which waged it. Not one benefit, political or military, has Britain acquired with this war. Our eventual evacuation of the country resembled the retreat of an army defeated.
