-- This is like saying it's OK for the cops to beat a confession out a
suspect, because convivting the perp is more important than the
constitution. Double-think: destroy the village to save it, defend human
rights by bombing millions of people. Sociological research shows the
human mind can make a long line short, and a short line long. But
double-think is double-think. Either you support international law, or
your don't.
