It will be if they waterboard them long enough. Come on Mark. They're terrorists. They deserve it. No mercy. They are enemy combatants.

Well....you take a loaded gun; you place the barrel of the gun against my left temple; tell me to "make your day" and then you pull the trigger. Only problem-the gun jams and I walk away.

See--that would be an example of "intent". You intended to kill me. That in and of itself is a crime. Also, you may have seen that "sting" TV show where they ambush pedophiles who arrange meetings with "minors" that aren't really minors. They still go to jail for their intent crime, even if they don't get to carry out their intentions.
Convictions based upon proof of intent-via circumstantial evidence; is hardly uncommon. Otherwise, proof of intent would require prosecutors to either elicit an admission, or to unscrew the suspect's skull cap and peer inside to discern intent.

As all have stated, the individuals are charged and not convicted, however, after reading the General Allegations within the Indictment, I have little question about what has taken place so far, and if a portion of these allegations are proven, I hope they get the maximum.

I have former professional experience with these Militia types and I have the same distain for them that I have for foreign terrorists. They are a cowardly lot of losers, comprised mostly of individuals who look to blame anyone and anything other than themselves for their own self-caused misery or perceived misery. As foreign terrorists use religion, local terrorists use religion or the constitution as their justification for their unprincipled narcissistic arrogant sense of self-worth with exploitative indifference to the welfare of others, all in the hope of special recognition...essentially...self-aggrandizement.

In short, they are absent social conscience, and have total disregard for anyone's rights but their own.


Unfortunately, their calculated slant on religion or the constitution woven into their stated cause as an appeal for justification sullies both in the eyes of the young or uniformed.


But, that's just me
