Just to remind yourself there is a left-wing press...

and it's not the Mainstream Media...

Read Robert Scheer over at Huffington Post "Dr. Germ and Mrs. Anthrax Set Free"

Just remember, hatemail goes there, not here...

As is the usual, Mr. Scheer has a couple of good points. But the points he - like so many of his intellectual peers on the left - makes are pretty much vacated through failure to apply a proper context.

We must always remember when we discuss the "rights" of the persons being considered, or the rights, for that matter, of their former leader, that they have rights not so much because of who they are as because of who we are.

I suspect Mr Scheer forgets that.

I have to agree objectively to just hold these people beyond the strictist need was uncalled for, although it isn't even certain thy were held beyond that need. But it has to be realized that is an American perspective.
