"The relevant point here is that the Sheik was convicted of conspiracy to murder, commit terrorost acts, and the like, and from a legal point of view it makes no difference that he did not fire a gun or press the detonator. He is legally (and if guilty, as the jury believed, and I agree, morally) as much an actual participant in the acts he conspired to do as his co-conspirators. No doubt you will dismiss this as mere bourgeois legality."

nope...

in fact, andie, i'd love "bourgeois legality", if it were consistent enough to throw clinton's ass into a cell next to the sheik's, and every other president since the war, if the kangaroo court - nuremberg laws were truly observed for all, and not just the losers...

didn't make that up, it's a paraphrase of chomsky,and i think he said they should be executed, which was the penalty at kangaroo-berg... but wouldn't it be great if everyone could jump up and down in happiness at such observance of "bourgeois legality"?

just asking...
