#1 The question that remains unasked amidst all this high indignation is what was a nice Ethiopian lad from Kensington doing in Pakistan with a false papers?

#3 I suggest we just shoot these guys AND their lawyers. Maybe it'll remind the judicial system that they "serve" at our pleasure, not their own. Every single member of the government of the United States, at any level, elected, appointed or hired, should be forced to read the entire second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, and sign an affidavit that they understand it. Britain needs to adopt something similar, and hold ITS government responsible. If "government" doesn't understand that its sole purpose is to "secure the rights" of the governed, it doesn't have a legitimate reason to exist. Taking up arms against a government doing anything else is not just a good idea, it's a requirement of citizenship.
