Still am!

This ruling is a surprise to me and it begs the question: DID the US over react, again, as they did in WW2? During that time (9-11) we saw a LOT of Muslim "hate" going down on many levels. Justified as a result of the fog and haze of war? Perhaps so. Accountability later when things become more clear? Yeah I think it's a needed part of the checks and balances. I will be outraged if the conclusion of this matter results in a substantial reward for the plaintiff! But tend to agree a suit should be allowed to proceed.

I say "tend to agree" because I don't have enough information on the specifics to reach a solid conclusion either way. I could say the same about the current "torture" investigation stuff going on. Absolutely SHOULD be investigated. Prosecuted? Eh, not so much...
