Republicans - Single-Minded or Just Simple-Minded?

John McCain says we should stay in Iraq until the terrorists have been defeated. Has it ever occurred to the Republicans that maybe “al-Qaida in Iraq” would stop targeting innocent Iraqis if the U.S. were no longer there? They were not there before we invaded. Have the Republicans ever taken notice of the many “enemy combatants” that have been released from Guantanamo Bay without any explanation, whatsoever? It was recently revealed that the U.S. used the British outpost, Diego Garcia, for refueling during two “extraordinary rendition” flights, one of the captives of which has also been released. Are the Republicans unable to comprehend that this may mean that these people are innocent? Bush refuses to ban certain torture techniques. The “liberals” are not against torturing terrorists so much as they are against torturing innocent people. Are the Republicans single-minded or just simple-minded in their quest to do whatever it takes to make themselves feel “safe”?
