Today, 9/5/11, Laura Flanders told the Ed Show at MSNBC that the legal course to have been taken against OBL should have been to take him in custody and try him in the court of law [ the position of John Kerry.] An implicit secondary issue is the violation of the sovereignty of an independent nation state of Pakistan..
Ms. Flander's point is that this action reflects on how the US practice the principle of the rule of law... Ms.Flanders is the only criticism found in mainstream media not withstanding the fact that the Bush Clique is going ballistic about defending torture as the defining point of US policy that lead to the successful TWEP. The Republicans are at pains to defend their violation of the rule of law [torture] as the definitive tool against terror.
This is a very interesting score board. Let us hope that a deeper and comprehensive analysis is still coming out of the pipe line; it will be a revelation on the psyche of the American body politic.
On the same day, two Imams were not allowed to fly to their destination to a religious tolerance conference after three checks because the pilot refused to fly with them on board in spite of the fact that there were no complaints from the passengers. The Ed show was outraged by this discrimination and the Imam described it as a Rosa Park type discrimination.. John Stewart got a joshing from Ed as the definer.
