The Supreme Court decided today not to consider the question whether the US Government can hold an alleged terrorist indefinitely without trial.

85% of US troops in Iraq think they're there in retaliation for Saddam's "role" in the 9/11 attacks.

The Sunni minority in Iraq is desperate to get the US Army to leave Iraq so that the better-armed Shiites, who hate and outnumber them, can massacre them and take their land.

Does any of this make sense to someone?

I'll take a crack:

The lower court ruling was that detaines did require a trial/can't be held indefinitely without a trail. If the Supremes won't rule on this, then I assume the lower court's ruling will stand.

There is no group more relentlessly targeted with propaganda than the military. So that might explain that. Of course, the military is in no way encouraged to express differing opinions they might hold, so who knows. Maybe the truth of their involvement is too terrible to accept. Maybe they're just goofing on the pollsters.

And, nationalists aren't always rationalists.

It all makes perfect sense. We're fighting Eurasia.
