  • Wards and Morality

    I want to comment on two different points, and this is mostly in response to all of the other follow-up posts to the main article: 1) Wards - a ''ward of the state'' is anyone taken into custody by the government. This includes recently arrested people who are taken into jail for something as petty as public intoxication, up to death row ...

  • Cruel and unusual?

    The neglect this man suffered is unforgiveable, though I think it must be very rare. I worked at a medium security prison, and was incredulous at all the perks afforded the inmates. Health and dental care were better than I could afford. One man in my class had AIDS and revealed that to the rest of the class. The other inmates assumed he would ...

  • Military law, international law and teardrops.....

    It is gratifying to read the analyses of how the overseas travel of administration attorneys or leaders could, in the future, expose them to prosecution in foreign courts for violations of national laws that give effect to the Geneva Convention, and incidentally cover related activities such as special rendition. [Note: read on after the excerpts ...

  • Greymail

    Since the adminstration is setting this charade up in such a way as to tie the hands of defence counsel, I see only one option for the lawyers tasked with providing the best arguments on behalf of their clients. It will require far more guts than common sense might admit, but in the face of such draconian tactics, there appears no other ...

  • Jurisprudence: Haji Bashaar Noorzai

    Professors Cohen and Gershman make a reasonable argument that the government should honor its promises; however, they never explicitly say that the government made those promises. They state that Mr. Noorzai was lured to the United States ''by two freelance ''contractors'' associated with the FBI, who told Noorzai they were FBI and Defense ...

  • Why I'm an American in Exile...

    On June 13th, 2007, I received a death threat from someone claiming to be a member of the US Intelligence community. What was my ''crime''? I blew the whistle on the election fraud of 2004. Why did the CIA feel threatened by this? Because I revealed how they smuggled cocaine into the US using a front company called ''Skyway Communications''. ...

  • "Killing With Kindness" by Creque, 1995

    Assume that capital punishment is morally justifiable; lethal injection is not a good method. I ran across an article years ago that suggested another method: nitrogen asphyxiation. You can find the article easily online; just search for''Killing with kindness - capital punishment by nitrogen asphyxiation''National Review, Sept 11, 1995 by ...

  • Re: Allen Iverson

    That's just it. They do NOT lock up white people. In the US, jails are for blacks and Latinos. Period US blacks are one eighth the population and half the prisons and jails. Latinos are another quarter and rising. Native Americans have the highest incarceration rate of all. Makes one question the legitimacy of the entire judicial and ...

  • Limits of Judiciary Power

    For my next trick, I will defend free speech without referring to the First Amendment. The English language has over ten thousand words. It has so many words, because the connotative defitions of closely related words lead to unique meanings for each one. Our language is a collection of precision tools, and in courtrooms, it is wielded ...
