*********************************************

1.      The image of a prisoner with underwear over his head
arouses more sympathy and anger because it is testimony tp perverse
and depraved and continuingly and persistently demeaning mwentality of
a supposedly enlightened people who have flown thousands of miles away
to commit acts of naked and illegal aggression upon a people who have
committed no crime, but are falsely and meanly accused of WMD. The
dramatis personae in this act are living characters. On the other
hand, picture of a headless civilian arouses much less emotion than
nauseating revolt. Death is universally every day fact of life;
putting female underwear over heads of robust males, confined naked
and paraded before laughing, smoking, jeering, American girls aged 21
is not.

2.      If a judge pronounces sentence upon thief or murderer, he has to be
seen not as anti-thief or anti-murderer, but, as pro-justice, as long
as the judgment is pronounced after giving hearing to the concerned
parties and in accordance with law. I protest if those who criticize
US are labeled as anti-American. Those on the other side, including
Cynthia, have been given hearing. If they choose to keep quiet, or,
merely mumble out: 'maybe'; 'just my belief'; 'that is how I perceive
it'; 'average American is a nice guy'; 'I did not vote for bush';
'everybody is entitled to one's views', etc. etc., this cannot carry
conviction with anybody. Cynthia is not an ordinary run of the mill
young girl who has to be treated with that extra tender touch lest she
get overawed or intimidated. I am sure as an attorney arguing day in
and day out for her clients and defending even the indefensible [as we
lawyers have got to do sometimes], filing a reply would be her second
nature. If a lawyer fails to file a reply to a plaint or suit, the
judge has to proceed with the case ex-parte. The onus is on others to
refute evidence and argument by evidence and argument, rather than
impute motives of bias on the part of the other party.
