but I will point out that what you call a "compromise" is actually just a resort to a kangaroo court which everyone here rightly disdained when Bush was stumping for them.

If YOU are ever arrested do you think you should have the right to a trial?

If YOU are ever kidnapped from your own country by a foreign government and then flown around the world for secret torture before being handed up to a military tribunal in which you can not view the "evidence" against you and where your statements (and those of others) gleaned after torture can be used against you, do you think that you could view it as an acceptable compromise?

I don't see how it is possible to "intimidate" someone on a forum, if one does not have the strength in ones own opinions to back them up in the face of an argument then that is ones own fault, not a reflection of the nefarious attitudes of those disputing you.
