It is a valid point. The terrorist in Yemen is unlikely to ever kill
an American.

No it's now, the enemy general in the office is unlikely to pull the
trigger and shoot someone either, but you still want to take him out...
Those guys were Generals. It's frekin' war, in a war, you shoot back,
just turns out this time we were a better shot.

It is a stupid point. Have you been doing drugs? This guy was the most
articulate terrorist out there. His elimination probably cut into
their recruitment efforts by a considerable amount and THAT saved
American lives.


Yet you still condemn killing a guy who was convicted in court for
killing people in this country and that conviction survives decades of
appeals, any one of which would have set him free.
Are you saying you trust the CIA more than the American judicial
system?


Justice for a black guy in the south? snerk

You mean he was killed because he was educated?

So if the CIA said the black guy was guilty we could just kill him on
the spot but the court system is corrupt.


You are drawing conclusions for me? Where did I say or imply I trusted
the CIA? I was commenting on the corrupt criminal justice system in this
country, especially as it pertains to impoverished defendants being
tried in death penalty cases in much of the blood-thirsty South. You
know, in states like yours, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, and others, and
Oklahoma, which might as well be in the South if you take into account
its general backwardness in the subject under discussion and several
others.

That's correct. There have been some improvements in the quality of life
for people of color in the South but when it comes to the criminal
justice system, blacks accused of capital crimes are less likely than
whites to obtain a competent legal defense. In terms of criminal
justice, Southerners are much more bloodthirsty than non-Southern
Americans. Is it their fundamentalist christianity coming into play?

You don't mean black, you mean poor don't you?

No, he means black... It's the political shill of the day...

That may be true of your average criminal that ends up taking a plea
for jail time but when it becomes a capital case there has been plenty
of representation for these people for the last 40-50 years. Otherwise
you would not have a 20-30 year appeals process.

Personally I would like to see the appeals process speeded up. It is
not unusual that people eventually can be found innocent if you let a
case get this cold. Evidence disappears, witnesses die, memories fade
and it becomes a lot easier to get reasonable doubt, even for the most
guilty person.
