	I find it hard to beleive that in this group, with it's expressed
concern for individual rights and privacy, the fact that the government 
just walked into Panama and snatched a foreign citizen is blithely accepted
as right.  Does the concern for whether he gets a fair trial overshadow the
question of whether you have a right to try him in the first place?
	Of course, he's been branded as a "drug lord", so I guess it's all
right.  Does no one else see the McCarthy tactics being used in the current
war on drugs?
