Randy,
You could have tried responding to the request for information
contained in my posting. Or did you fail to notice that I did
actually request information ? And God forbid that there should ever
be a Law Librarian anywhere on this planet who advocates censorship
of any criticism of the current disgraces that are (a) Guantanamo and
(b) the current Military Commissions.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
