Oh noes!!! I have a beard at the moment. Does that mean that I will be arrested too?

The truth is of course that people are not arrested for having beards. That was just something which Antonio made up to make himself look stupid (why he'd want to do that is beyond me).

Another truth of course, which is lost on the 'reality based' community, is that ordinary criminal law does not work when applied to determining whether or not a suspected jihadi is indeed a risk to society. That's because during war time, the level of proof needed to keep an enemy combatant locked up is lower than the proof needed to convict a common criminal.

But then again, I don't think that Bush is Hitler, or that Jews are evil, or that capitalism sucks so what do I know
