Look if the Gov was secretly in Buenos Aires I can tell you that after living here in BA for 6 years - he has a girlfriend. I read where he was visiting the coast in BA. BA has horrible coastline and no real beaches, plus it's cold as heck right now. Knowing the quality of women and the fact he was here sometime ago "dove hunting" in Cordoba, I am relatively certain he has developed other interests than walking the beaches.

KS NOW Mourns Murder of Dr. Tiller

The Kansas National Organization for Women is deeply saddened at the cowardly act of violence committed against Dr. George Tiller, a champion for women’s reproductive freedom-an act that ultimately took his life.

Dr. Tiller, although previously surviving many acts of terrorism and violence directed at him and his clinic, did not allow it to stop him from standing up for the rights of all women.

Kansas NOW grieves not only the loss of Dr. Tiller, but also the loss that all women needing access to safe abortion have suffered due to this act of violence.

Kansas NOW is keeping Dr. Tiller’s family and staff in our thoughts during this difficult time.

State Coordinator Marla Patrick stated, “No one deserves to die due to an act of violence, but it is even more disheartening that a champion of wo

Hi Rachel; Just two quick thoughts (comments really) 1.I think it would be better to stop saying the attacks are coming from conservatives and republicans only, when the real start of the attack came from Jeffery Rosen at TNR,(everyone is still quoting is hit piece) and second PLEASE stop joining the rest of the MSM and their crusade of ... Read MoreRehabilitating Colin Powell.The man KNEW when he gave that speech at the UN that it was all a lie (read the Daily Howler and Woodwards book together to verify the time lines, if you have the time). He doesn't deserve to be let off the hook and he doesn't deserve your respect. Also I wont go into his involvement in the William Cali case. To heavy befor noon!

Following the rule of law is what protects our constitution. While some argue that because they are terrorists and not american citizens that we don't have to follow our own principles in those cases, those principles served us well with past terrorist; both homegrown and foreign. Prolonged detention in the long run will only compound the threat to our national security, continue to be a call to arms against the US.

I don't believe this is a complicated choice at all. We either do the right thing, or we never do.
At the time of the Crusades, when Salahiddin (Saladin) took French soldiers as prisoners of war, he kept them fed and well treated. Then when the war against the French ended, he released them though the French tortured and killed all the Arab ... Read Moreprisoners they held, both Muslim and Christian. When Salahiddin was asked by one of his men why he did not also kill the French prisoners, he responded, "We don't treat them according to their standards; we treat them with the mercy and compassion of our religion."
Ideals are what define a people. Even if it is perceived to be against our own self-interests — especially when that's the case — we MUST live by them. It's not naive. It's the bedrock.
