Death for Families of Suicide Bombers
Referencing an article by Ami Eden of Forward, War in Context offers this comment on the "logic of the war on terrorism":
When President Bush announced to the world that the United States would not discriminate between terrorists and those who harbor them, he may not have considered every logical extension of this policy. Washington attorney, Nathan Lewin, uses Bush's logic to advocate a barbaric form of retribution against the families of suicide bombers. Support for Lewin's views may be muted, but anyone who supports the Bush doctrine might find it difficult to explain why they do not also support the Lewin version.Interesting challenge. Oh, and I just can't wait till Alan Dershowitz jumps on this bandwagon, as he has done on torture.
