The editorial in The Tribune could have been written by Obama himself. Because it is nothing but flowery language with no basis in reality. "We have more faith in the American courts". Ha! The same court(s) that have granted terrorists the same rights as any American citizen? The same one that approved abortion on demand? Yeah, right.
