Why wouldn't the same right be granted in case of a major offense? Besides that, it would be unfair to change the rules after the judgement has started, as some justices tried to do.The Man Behind The Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237201291637228362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434768368145739040.post-213208542833354672013-09-20T11:49:23.797-03:002013-09-20T11:49:23.797-03:00I for one will stop putting up defences for Folha ...I for one will stop putting up defences for Folha lest you think I work for them.

I will try very hard to tamp down my disappointment with an objective news source (I am NOT crossing my fingers) that would publish something so out of balance with reality. I can forgive them four years later. Maybe.<br /><br />Collateral damage is a disgusting euphemism. It's a military term and probably should not be spending its time being bandied about by news sources. The only reason it is not called murder is that the person is killed as a result of military action. It's not right. There are more people affected by the so-called war on terror (wait, didn't Dubya say mission accomplished? Aren't we done?) than Afganis and Iraqis--not just the dead, but those wounded mentally, emotionally and physically.

As much as I try to look at all the positive changes that have happened (and continue to happen) in Brazil, it's disheartening to see that some real negatives are not likely to change (in my lifetime, at least).<br /><br />As for Folha's editorial, if a simple (albeit unfortunate) reference like that rubs you the wrong way, how do you feel when so many more innocent dead Afghanis and Iraqis are referred to as "collateral damage"? Can you tell I'm opposed to the "War on Terror"?
