Thanksgiving, Rendition, Actions have Consequences

-Miki and Kevin hosted Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of us. A good time was had by all and, yes, my belly was filled several times with all sorts of yummy food. Good food, good company, good time.

-Diane and I got home in time to watch a scary and painful but very good movie called Rendition. Besides helping us take our minds off of our distended tummies, it graphically made horrible rendition, that act by us good guys to whisk suspected bad guys off of streets anyway in the world and delivering them to states where they could be tortured till they coughed up 'useful' information.

-Digby writes more on what to do with with the bad acts by the bad guys. She has spent much time mulling over what should be done once the new guys are in charge. She is very much against letting bygones be bygones - crimes were and have been committed - actions have consequences - if nothing is done, the next guys will go even further. Here she, and others, mull some more. Seems pretty simple to me: people who break laws need to be brought to court and if found guilty brought to justice.
