Pd,
Chill out, guy! I understand your bitterness at losing two elections in a row; but if the Dems had been honest and had run on the issues, the outcome might have been different.
As for the pics of the AL QAEDA prisoners aboard the plane, I think they were being very humanely restrained. These people are part of a group that attacked and BIT TO DEATH an American CIA agent, remember? They were restrained in such a manner as to render them powerless as well as preventing them from being flung around the plane in turbulence. Alternatively, I suppose they COULD have been drugged and stacked (I wouldn't even have saved them from the Northern Alliance, myself). I wonder if any of the Chechnyan terrorists survived the incident in Russia.
