#1 Fred, there were a s**tload of Taliban and foreign fighters at Konduz, Afghanistan, who eventually ended up at Mazar-e-Sharrif. It seems, that in hindsight, we should have taken them all out at Konduz with aerial bombardment? Do you agree with that assessment? A few examples like that would send a message to the rest, seems to me.

#2 I agreed with that statement at the time, and I've seen no reason to change my mind. But at the time it looked like most of the bad guys at Konduz didn't survive -- we didn't quite know what to look for then.

#4 I seem to remember that it was the ACLU that was doing most of the complaining about the Gitmo detainees being held without being charged. As far as I'm concerned, this is just another example of what happens when terrorism is treated as some sort of legal matter.
