Enemy Combatants

Subject: Do Enemy Combatants Have Any Rights?

I think many agree with your feelings about enemy combatants. today, foreign people, tomorrow Christians. And to think, I voted for Mr. Bush. I voted for him based on moral values but the rest I don't like. What will I do next time I have a "moral values" president who is opposed to abortion and stem cell research and gay marriage, but takes our country down down down in the other moral areas.

How does one choose some morals over others. Who has ranked abortion as less or greater than this enemy combatants, as this acceptable-torture thing. I decry it all. And except to write my representatives, I can do little else and it so frustrates me. I'd impeach him over that if I could, because it is that important. And I'm not given to that, but you can't do these things.

Every american is endangered by each one of these actions he takes. Not just a little endangered, but totally at risk. For now, because we have done it to others and excused it, how can the world have righteous indignation on behalf. No, they would look the other way as decent good men and women are heinously and cruelly tortured, mutilated and slaughtered in mad frenzy or agonizing cruelty. Oh I so loathe that. How do I rank one above or below another, which morals are most. Abortion and his actions, both are death. Oh how I hate this position we are in.

Thank you for writing. You express a lot of people's heart on this matter.
