While I can, unprovoked, be pretty sarcastic, I very rarely say bad things to people without being provoked.

You seem to revel in it. I have told you and mouse repeatedly about incorrect you Lucy (of “Peanuts” fame) - like analyses are, but you still keep doing it. I just tell you to stop it and make a point.

Frameone calls me an idiot, then mocks me further in the next post, explaining to me, like I’m a dolt that I failed to understand his poor joke.

Does it make me a victim to acknowledge that these comments have nothing to do with the thread, the current topic, or their contribution to the discussion?

Maybe. Maybe not. But it certainly doesn’t make any of you — Mouse, semanticleo, quaker, or frameone, a better person than I, because you say those things about me, even if you really believe they are true.

So, keep it up, folks, no doubt you’re impressing each other, maybe, but certainly not me.

BTW, because I was curious, I looked up disgorgement, to see what context you were using. It seems it’s a huge fine levied by the SEC to repay investors hurt by schemes.

I’m not sure it’s even relevant to your posts. Now, will you make yourself clear, or go back to doing what you enjoy most, attacking me?

“Methinks thou doth protest….”

You understand all to well.

I came here with another “Bush - wack”

Bush removal ended Guam investigation

What do you want me to say?

I really don’t understand you…

And, as to this: “Just a little riddle. What is that sound?” Sorry, I don’t care enough to go look… I have stuff to do today…

“That s only the third time I ve asked this question.”

Theres no one answer.. What is the crime and I’ll tell you a punishment. “War profiteering” is too vague. Are you saying all contractors who support DOD are war profiteers or are you trying to identify contractors who charge excessive prices nad get what they want because a war is going on? If the latter, it must first be a crime. And if so, the law should be applied as appropriate. But I doubt you will find very many. The contracting process forces comeptiton whre feasible. Still, absolutely not a sin to make a profit while conracting in support of the war. How about the contractors dwho have died in Iraq. Profiteers?

Just a little riddle. What is that sound?

Care to go on the record yourself re;disgorgement?

Hanging seems to be a remote possibility for anyone these days.

You seem to mitigate the severity when you say nazi’s only got 10 years.

I don’t want to literally hang anyone. How about the example of the $100

million fine for ADM? 10 times what the business criminals got from their

illicit acitivity seems just. Come on Frank, Go on the record for Pete’s

sake! I’m not after YOU!, Stop acting like you’d be making an admission

of guilt!

Delay/Frist MAY or May not be guilty of war crimes (as in this thread having no DIRECT connection to US military policy) They may be guilty of other crimes that are lesser, but still serious. Disgorgement similar to FTC fines (example; 10 times the profit made by Archer Daniels Midland when it tried to corner the citric acid market) may be appropriate upon conviction in a court of law.

However, the question REMAINS;What should happen to war criminals?

I hope that satisfies you.

What are you looking for: some kind of ghoulish “lets pick the punishment” game?

But personally, I would like to see the miscreants drawn and quartered. Publicly, of course. Always wanted to see that but it went out with Nixon.

All of your “ifs” are a tad remote (war crimes with Gov Ehrlich and his staff????) to begin with. Now, if Gov Ehrlich were a Nazi and had Hitler’s brain on ice, STILL ALIVE, and was thinking about blowing up the New Orleans levees again (Bush did it the first time, I believe) and then murdering all progressives under the influence of this brain…..”

Dugger, Stay Tuned As Mayor O’Malley Wins a Fist Fight with Hitler’s Brain

Yeah, Dugger. I want to know what you think about “disgorgement” as a fitting punishment for ‘war criminals’, although we could include political hacks who abuse our trust.

BTW;

That’s only the third time I’ve asked this question.

IF there is no connection between back room business deals amongst brokers and main-line decision/policy makers that lead to innocent people dying, OR no war crimes are indicated?

What should happen to the affected parties?

Let us all stop for a moment.

We do not have the final verdict on these matters.

That will all be revealed in time.

But IF there is a connection between back room business deals amongst brokers and main-line decision/policy makers that lead to innocent people dying, AND war crimes are indicated?

What should happen to the guilty parties?

As to the other question: I was referring to two things: yes, I know he appointed him, but that doesn’t mean he colluded with him in activities with Abramoff. And Oliver referred to the Governor’s “company”. It was Miller who was associated with Abramoff.

“I don’t know enough about the scandalettes…” - as demonstrated by your Schumer comment

I repeat:

Frankly, while guilt by association is neither fair or reasonable; asking questions along those lines and considering the possibilities is only logical.
Which is why folks have been “yelling” about Rove, Abramhoff, etc. for 5 years… lack of questions asked and answers made.

If guilt by association is neither fair nor reasonable, how could asking questions be ‘only logical’?. Are you saying that something can be unfair, unreasonable and logical? Couldn’t be — could it?
