Rice defends unlimited detention of suspected terrorists

Well, Condi, methinks you've stepped in it now:

"You can't allow somebody to commit the crime before you detain them, because if they commit the crime, thousands of innocent people die," she told the USA Today daily.

So, since sixty-four percent of prison inmates belonged to racial or ethnic minorities, and an estimated 57% of inmates were under age 35 (statistics for 2001, source), if we simply "detained" without trial or charges all minorities under the age of the 35, we'd virtually eliminate crime in the US, saving thousands of innocent lives.

What impeccable logic.

AFP - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended the unlimited detention of suspected terrorists saying, in an interview that it benefitted the United States and the entire world.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
