Just another round in the radicals ammo.
Is your point supposed to be esoteric? 'Cause if not, I have NO idea WTF you're talking about.

'esoteric'. Do you keep throwing in these rarely used words to impress?

I'll spell it out so even you can understand then.

Bush used the suspects as political tools, to obtain high approval ratings from his extremist support base.
In doing so, by use of torture and forced confessions, he made it impossible under your law to bring the suspects to court-but no doubt you people will find a way around that little detail.

That was just for you, Paul. I aspire to impress people who can't effectively use contractions. I suppose my desire to do so was a major failing on my part. My bad.

You should've studied constitutional law, Paul - your findings are impressive, to say the least.

I dont think it impresses anyone here, when a poster starts using wording they wouldnt normally use on a daily basis.

Wouldnt make any difference in this case, neither the Constitution, nor civil law will play any part in the suspects conviction.

Well, then you better start jumping on FT, Sedan, EH, Vile, Brooks, and Comics too. Or just get a dictionary and learn something (although I know how you feel about that, so scratch the suggestion).

There is a difference with the posters you mentioned. The dont add tone to they're dialect. Whereas, you try very hard to voice an air of superiority, try.

I dont need to get a dictionary to learn anything mac, I still make more than you,which in your eyes, is what its all about.

Batter my heart three-personed God, for you
as yet but knock, breathe, shine and seek to mend.

That I may rise and stand o'erthrow me and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn and make me new.

Expect thee no quarter then, as thou would in turn offer none of the same!

"Try"? LOL! Ok, let's say you're right....maybe that's 'cause (of the people I mentioned) they're (for the most part) on your "side" of the argument...

Whether they're on my side of an argument or not is immaterial, your an arrogant snob. Everyone would be on my side of that argument.

How old are you prae? If you don't mind me asking.

Ever notice that a certain poster has to have every nuance of a sentence explained to him. Every statement backed up by a source he believes in, every color described in detail, specific names for everything referred to, etc. Is it lack of critical thinking skills? Lack of reading comprehension skills? Lack of the ability to track a conversation? Maybe he just wants to change the subject.

Forget television designed for entertainment - which is at least honest - and focus in something like a news segment. As far as its creators are concerned, the worst thing that it could possibly do is inspire or provoke you, two horrible emotions that risk you getting up and leaving your living room and missing the imminently scheduled set of commercials. The result is the unreality we find ourselves in, one where no one can recall the last time they actually DID anything with the information they were given from the television. You realize that the last thing we have to fear is a malicious Orwellian news industry, because what we have is so much worse: culture incentivized to be as shallow, fabricated and captivating as possible, at the expense of what is actually real or true or meaningful. -- Ryan Holiday

Uh, you can always click on my moniker and view my public profile. Of course, something tells me you were going for a jab, not asking a question.
