    Excellent point. Perhaps it should have been obvious that I was joking. By referencing the somewhat deragatory nicknames used by soldiers in WWII, I was calling to mind our nations' shared heritage of the British Common Law. When I see Common Law countries misbehave in this fashion, it is always especially irksome. It is the ultimate "could it happen here" test. I expect more from the Common Law nations, and I wholly agree that us Yanks have had some embarassing episodes in this regard as well. We should all resolve to hold ourselves to the high standards of human and civil rights guaranteed under our shared legal tradition. And we should hold each other to it.
