In America, we have a word for someone about whom insufficient evidence exists to convict of a crime: innocent.
You seem to be confused. Someone about whom insufficient evidence exists to convict is simply not convicted. Innocence and guilt refer to responsibility for the alleged transgressions, NOT whether or not they have been convicted. This is a common misunderstanding. In our system conviction implies guilt, however lack of conviction does NOT imply innocence.
Are you saying we should lock up everybody in the world who so much as looks at us funny?
Argumentum ad logicam
When people in power are not required to justify their exercise of power, a certain percentage of them will abuse it.
In the United States the Administration is required to justify their exercise of power during the election. We had one. Bush won. The Administration is required to justify their exercise of power to Congress. Congress, recognizing a valid exercise of power, hasn't wasted the time to require them to do so.
When nobody questions them
Once again, what planet are you on? Bush is questioned in print, on TV, on radio, and every corner of the Internet on an hourly basis.
What people of your mindset won't, or because of cognitive dissonance can't, understand is America wants these people locked up. They don't care if they weren't read their rights in Afghanistan. They don't care if they don't get a lawyer and a trial on Court TV. They don't want them to enjoy the same procedural and substantiative due process rights that citizens enjoy. They want them locked up and the key thrown away.
I don't worship W. I do however support W's policy of keeping an extremely small number of terrorists locked up, and I understand Constitutional law sufficiently well to know what he is doing is perfectly legal.
America stands for liberty and justice for all. That's the America I support.
So you would let the terrorists in Guantanamo free? I suppose I should be glad you're in the minority.
Do you really believe it's a good thing to lock people up without trials? Do you really buy the line that they can't have trials because they're "terrorists"?
Would it be fantastic if they could be tried, convicted, and thrown in jail forever? Sure.
Do you refuse to acknowledge that on a planet of 6,444,960,515 that there might be 300 who are violently hostile to the US, were captured or caught in combat, but about whom insufficient evidence exists to convict of a crime? It seems perfectly plausible to me.
If the US let these people go, and one committed an act of terror against innocents, would you stand up to accept responsibility? Probably not since you won't even stand behind your comments.
I don't see it as reasonable to believe that the US gov randomly picked up a few hundred people and are keeping them incarcerated for the heck of it.
However if you are consumed with a pathological hate of the US you may be not be able to see things so clearly.
You're helping to drag America and the rest of the world into some bloody cesspool of attacks and counterattacks
You must be referring to a different world than the one I live on. My planet is relatively peaceful at the moment when compared to the last few centuries.
Is there a single ongoing hot war between two coutries anywhere on the Earth? The only major conflict is in the Middle East, which is just par for the course of the last 3000 years.
Most of Asia, Europe, Africa, South and North America are abnormaly quiet.
I'm sure it embitters you knowing that your country's continued existance depends on the benevolence of the US, but try not to let it warp your thinking.
Our subjects in Japan and Germany have never recovered from WW2. And those poor Afghanis. Like was so much better under the Taliban when there wasn't rampant kite flying, radio listening, and female school attendance.
As to your 'they'll get us first' argument (substitute bogey-man of the moment, apparently China, for they), the extension of this to its logical conclusion is of course that to ensure US hegomony [sic] you must take over every other nation on Earth. Perhaps you think that would be a good idea if you had the resources; fortunately for the rest of us, you don't and never will.
You're a bit confused about the strategy. We don't need to take over other nations. All we need to do is ensure that we have the capability to obliterate any potential threat. We've done an excellent job at this over the last 25 years, and looking forward it appears the current administration is committed maintaining this ability.
You may not like it, but it's a dog eat dog world. Force, for the foreseeable future, is the ultimate trump card. That your nation is too weak to ensure its survival sucks for you. I just thank Buddha and L. Ron Hubbard that America was given to tools to defend itself and its allies.
GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!
I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?
You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?
Please. Just because you got beatup in highschool and could never get a date, doesn't mean you need to be bitter. I'd imagine most parents will take any kid that doesn't have major defects. Some will want jocks, some may even want band nerds.
Sure, there are examples of "Gee, this would have been a major security problem if not for the Vax port". But most of what you see on this lists are just, "Waah, it doesn't compile on my Amiga." Well who cares? Assumptions were made, assumptions that cover 90% of the users. Go buy a PC and load Linux already.
Junior high play terrible. We thought Mark Hamill was bad, but this kid made his "acting" scenes painful to watch. Face it the kid was out acted by the animated characters of Dooku and Yoda.
I actually thought the little kid in SW1 was a better actor.

Shouldn't the objective be to get the most bang for the buck? Why not hire 20 Indian programmers at $3/hr for a year instead of 2 Americans?
He was an old man in the 1940's.
How old are you?
I'd say about 0.
Is this just a hunch, or do you have hard numbers?
I remember reading an article in Discover that oxytocin had been identified as a hormone responsible for monogamy.
IIRC, there were two species of voles. One monogamous, one not. The monogamous ones had high levels of oxytocin, the licentious ones, low.
When the species with low levels of oxytocin were injected with oxytocin they became monogamous.
Pretty straightforward cause and effect.
The root name server ARE in the US moron.

Many people are sticking with Win2K because of the draconian licensing and validation process
Yeah, they're called pirates. Nobody really cares if they stick with 2k
MS is a very successful rent seeker. Money spent on rent is by definition, wasted.
The one's who chased crazy dreams only to be squashed by microsoft's monopoly power.
I know Peter Norton is pretty bitter, but he's still rich. Surely there must be some heart wrenching stories to fuel or hate of all things Microsoft?

It can handle simple Word docs without much trouble, but introduce Excel macros or an Access mdb, and thinks stop looking so bright.
