Keith Olbermann not ‘beating around the bush’ so to speak. If a crime has been committed, than should the perpetrators do the time? And have these crimes really been committed? Susan J. Crawford, the convening authority of the military commissions at Guantanamo Bay seems to think so. So much for the Republicans and their frequent bloviating about law & order.

As Judge Robert Jackson, the American judge presiding over the Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal stated…

“While the United States is not first in rancor, it is not second in determination that the forces of law and order be made equal to the task of dealing with such international lawlessness…While this law is first applied against German aggressors, if it is to serve a useful purpose it must condemn aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in judgment. We are able to do away with domestic tyranny and violence and aggression by those in power against the rights of their own people only when we make *all men* (sic) answerable to the law.”

The video includes some interesting comments about the meaning of ‘compromise’ as well, and just what that means and what are we compromising with and why.
