WILL CIVIL RIGHTS DESTROY US?

The news this evening is that one of Saddam Hussein’s Investigative Judges has been assassinated in what is surely an attempt to stifle the upcoming trial by scaring everyone involved.
The word out this evening is that it will not delay the investigation or the trial in what should be completed as soon as possible to put an end to this type of activity.
It amazes me that this is how the bad guys work in all areas of our lives. No matter what happens they are always playing a different game than the rest of us with little if any rules, while the good guys are held in check at every part of the game until and if they are able to get to the end of what ever it may be, whether a trial, a battle, a war, hell just an argument, we are always worrying that their rights are taken care of and all they care about is getting off, winning, etc.,.
My question for everyone who may read this is when is enough, enough? Do we really need to lose the war and have are lives end in death protecting the rights of the bad guys, or can we finally understand what is at stake and stop playing these legalistic games. Tomorrow there should be empaneled a very short term committee of leaders who shall come up with a more loose set of standards of behavior in several areas that are being infringed upon at this time. This would include the war against terrorism in the world, the war in Iraq in particular, the stand offs with North Korea, Iran, and perhaps Syria. This would lay out exactly what can be done and protect those who prosecute the wars with out having bullshit nonsense from lawyers trying to protect the detainees, or others caught fighting against this country or who had planned terror against our country. Civil Rights of these people would not be protected and anything we want to do to get information would be acceptable. This has been written about before as I have been on a bit of a rant of late as “idiot” judges have made rulings which is to benefit the people we are holding without charges, making it less likely that they will continue to be held and perhaps they will even get the opportunity to hurt more Americans or other people in this world who do not believe in their war against any culture with whom they do not agree.
I hope that at some point we can come to a place when there can be a dialogue with those who also live among us. I think it should be stated what is and is not allowed or even expected when we go to war with terrorists throughout the nation and indeed throughout the world.
My favorite shows are those with the talking heads and those who are always mouthing words about fairness, rights, and supposedly using our own laws to hinder what we can and cannot do to suspects, and this is always in the name of making sure that our rights will endure, by allowing the bad guys to have those same rights. We know from past and present experience that we are the only ones who care about rights. The terrorists only care about their objective which is the total and complete destruction of all things American, Western, or Christian, and not necessarily in that order. We shall see how things move along, but the bottom line is that we are the good guys and we need to make sure we are safe and to hell with everyone else!
