Your hate for Merc, is causing you to side with Anwar al-Awlaki, one of the most dangerous terrorists.

I'm not siding with him. I'm pointing out how merc is like Anwar al-Awlaki. Get it?

That's a streeeeetch. So you feel our government should not take out al-Awlaki, a known and proven enemy terrorist, as Merc suggested?

I'm saying that in this case, merc saying that al-Awlaki should be killed for transgressions against his values (saying that the cartoonist should be killed) is no better than al-Awlaki saying that the cartoonist should be killed for transgressions against his values(the cartoonist making fun of Mohammed).

His being a "known and proven terrorist" does not enter into my point.

Do you think your values are better than his values?

Full-Body Scanners Coming To PDX

Quote:
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Full-body scanners are expected to arrive at Portland International Airport next year.
The machines scan below clothing for threatening or non-metallic devices, Department of Homeland Security officials said Friday.
Although the scanners have been criticized for invading privacy, the Transportation Security Administration said there's a privacy filter to blur all images and the pictures are deleted once viewed.
Coming soon to an airport near you...

Quote:
Other airports getting the scanners next year include Memphis and Newark.
UBL is laughing (at us) all the way to the airport.

It's got nothing to do with values, it's about reality... serious threats, death threats, to our country and it's citizens. In the OP, I stated we should send that clown a Hellfire.
That's why I said, your judgment is clouded because Merc said it, when he repeated the same.
