Sory, Memnoch, I don't see why "Better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent be executed" should receive the status of Holy Writ. What if those hundred guilty go out and kill just two more innocents? This is a cliche, and, IMHO, just plain wrong. Just like "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Acton was not a prophet. A bunch of liberals just think that he is.
