he is said to dwell in the castle of Kronborg, his beard grown down to the floor, and to sleep there until some date when Denmark is in mortal danger, at which time he will rise up and deliver the nation
All the talk show hosts were discussing Obama's desire for detention of the terrorists wtihout trial. I think they got it wrong. He clearly doesn't wish to detain terrorists as evidenced by his desire to shut Gitmo. I think he meant detention of "suspected terrorists". You know, those defined by the Janet Napolitano leaked memo.
WE are in his sights. WE are who will populate those work camps and detention centers. And there's no place in the world to go.
"We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." - Sir Winston Churchill
We need the same determination today to save our Land for our Children.
1. Churchill did not allow the torture of captured Germans even at the height of the Blitz.
2. "WE are in his sights", exactly. American citizens can be detained forever without trail. In the Republican rush to give these powers to Bush in the Patriot Act did they not think for a minute that the next President may be a Democrat? Guess not. These powers should have never been granted to the Executive Branch in the first place. Just be glad Hillary didn't win, talk about a paranoid with a long enemies list....
Kirly - Are you suggesting that the executive branch should not have the power to DETAIN AMERICAN CITIZENS WITH NO TRIAL? If so I agree.

Kirly,
GREAT comments here - right on target.
And although "there's no place in the world to go"....there IS a place to draw the line.
