Not disagreeing or anything...but do you find everything he did, that other nations do ironic? Or just this one issue? Oh and by the way..he detained his own citizens for the most part....I don't thinkthats the case at X-ray
As far as these detainees supporting terrorists. That is whats called an allegation. I'll believe that when they are tried and convicted publicly. I'll even give Eric Rudolph the benifit of the doubt til the verdict is read.
It might also be called an observation...or intelligence..or perhaps even (if you are in the right loop) common sense [img]smile.gif[/img]

[/QUOTE]Yo, magik read the first post again please, like others have mentioned this discussion is not about the x-ray detainees, but about arrests made on American soil by American law enforcement. We dont know how many actual citizens have been secretly arrested because they wont tell us anything about them.
Oh yeah...I find Irony on a case-by case-basis.
