Title: Thought for the Day

"Human rights are part of what it means to be civilised. Locking up suspected terrorists—and why not potential murderers, rapists and paedophiles, too?—before they commit crimes would probably make society safer. Dozens of plots may have been foiled and thousands of lives saved as a result of some of the unsavoury practices now being employed in the name of fighting terrorism. Dropping such practices in order to preserve freedom may cost many lives. So be it," - the Economist

The motto of New Hampshire- "Live Free or Die" -comes to mind in a most relevant and reassuring manner about how patriots like Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and Washington defined America.

If we lock up suspected terrorists, the terrorists win.

We already lock up potential pedophiles, don't we? 

Dateline NBC, or whatnot.

Jeffy.  You are as astute a commentator as I've ever heard.  Good luck on that new column in the Wall Street Journal!

Current politicians need to realize that saying too much can get them in trouble.  I'm showing them how it's done.

And stalker is different than pedophile, Krusty.

i read that the actual conviction rate for those "showcased" on that show is incredibly low.  they bend the rules so much that many police departments have begun to refuse working with nbc et all.
