Law & Enforcement

A firebrand, a "radical right-wing extremist", an agent provocateur, someone who regularly gets death threats for her columns, one of the few people the left hate more than Dubya, I am of course talking about Ann Coulter.

My post here talked about the ethical and judicial difficulties of exactly what we should do with non-state, non-uniformed combatants today. In her latest column, she demonstrates quite well the difficulties of closing Guantanamo and the problems of recidivism from at least one of the ex-inmates.

The crux of the column:

"After being captured fighting with Taliban forces against Americans in 2001, Abdullah Massoud was sent to Guantanamo, where the one-legged terrorist was fitted with a special prosthetic leg, at a cost of $50,000-$75,000 to the U.S. taxpayer."
