7-1-06 More Universality
As the fallout from the Supreme Court decision in Hamdan vs Rumsfeld continues to shower down in all directions, I found this one synopsis of the decision fairly concise...

Without getting partisan and crazy, the major points are dealt with in a manner, I believe, that anyone who has any interest in this situation will find sobering.
The larger issue, in my view, is the concept of universality, wherein our government must act in a manner consistent with the rhetoric about "spreading democracy", fostering freedom for the people of the world, and defending human rights. The United States of America must stand for these principles and apply them consistently across the board.
