Default Re: What About Mukasy\'s Position on Waterboarding?

Because criminals have a right to a lawyer and their lawyers wouldn't stand for such a tactic?

[/ QUOTE ]

so you're saying lawyers are aiding the terrorists.

Nope didn't say that at all.

I agree. as part of the war on terror we have to (and have) give up certain rights, and the right to a lawyer seems to be the main one we have to give up next.

Why does an enemy combatant captured in Afghanistan have the same rights in the U.S. as a U.S. citizen? No U.S. citizens needn't give up the right to a lawyer or other rights. I'm not even implying that.

Again we're getting into the legal status of enemy combatants. Unless I missed something that's something Congress hasn't asked Mukasy too much about yet.
