#1 This all shows how disingenous tha advocates of the "law enforcement" model are.

First, we must only use legalistic means to combat the terrs rather than military ones.

Yet using legalistic means would seem to require renditions and yes, "black" imprisonment for security purposes.

Furthermore, there's the need to minimize the terrs' inclination to take hostages to force release of specific suspects.(After all, they won't always know who we're holding vs. who we've killed.)

Yet, these methods are presented as something sinister as well.

Obviously, what our critics really want from us is nothing more than occasional fuming anti-terr rhetoric and a doormat stance.

No wonder they miss Clinton.

#2 Condi ought not coddle the brain-addled burka-baits.

She just needs to put on those boots and give those folks a quick kick in the behind...

The German government Monday confirmed reports that planes suspected of belonging to the CIA made more than 430 overflights or stopovers at U.S. military bases in Germany, including Ramstein Air Base.

Alot more snooty now that the Soviet Red Army isn't occupying 1/3 of your country with tank artillery directed at your pointy little heads, eh?

#3 Second paragraph -

"...widening suspicions by European leaders and citizens alike that U.S. agencies have adopted brutal tactics in dealing with terrorism suspects."

LA TIMES!
