Geez, and I thought you were playing along at home.
I keep forgetting to be explicit when replying to one of your posts. I was referring to the new DHS rules that cover all of us. All they (the DHS) have to do to eliminate our Constitutional safeguards is to declare us "a suspected terrorist". I, in no way, intended to imply that Saddam Hussein had the Constitutional rights we, as citizens of the US, are all supposed to have.
When replying to your posts, I'll try not to be so terse.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
- Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"
