I, too, feel that law enforcement agencies shouldn't act as judge, jury and executioners. Couldn't agree more.
That's why I find the CIA, Ashcroft, soldiers in military prisons, and Gitmo to be scary. Is it ok to use that word? Or does that take us off track?
I'm still missing the Jury and the Judge in much of this.
Oh, now I get it. The central fact of this dispute is that our citizens get protection of law, and other's citizens don't. Never mind, my bad. I should've realized that the Declaration of Independance has no force in law.
