During a radio debate Tuesday in Iowa, Democratic candidates were even asked whether individual Americans should turn in people they know to be in the country illegally

Hillary Clinton said turning "every American into a suspicious vigilante" would do grave harm to the fabric of the nation

1in 4 in Britain work for Government.

Does it make you think they could make a better job of things, with that many people doing something?

As they are very expensive to employ.

If only 20% think Congress is doing a good job and 41% think the Iraq war wasn't a mistake, does that mean more than twice as many people are for the Iraq war than for the Democrat led Congress?

About half the states in the US still use corporal punishment on students. Isn't it against the law though for them to paddle high school girls and guys that are seniors and 18 or older?

I hear the phrase "We fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them here"........"If we leave, the terrorists will follow us home."

The 'terrorists' I see on TV and in the news would appear to be guys in sweat pants and sandals who really don't like us. I understand they have the capability to attack the country (9/11), but to say we would have to 'fight' them over here, isn't that a little misleading? It would seem we're fighting what we've characterized, in essence, as a 'terrorist army'....while the terrorists (individuals who adhere to a religious fundamentalist ideology) are hell bent on crippling our financial institutions, cuz money is power. So wouldn't spending such large sums of money in Iraq just make the US go bankrupt faster?

I think it was brainwashed terrorists who hated the U.S. and they thought they were doing something good. Is the Bush administration really smart enough to pull something off like that? Are they that corrupt they would plan to kill their own citizens. I don't think they are. Certainly not Bush, anyway. What do you think?

Tell me what do you think about this ,

Pregnant on death row
Here's a stand-out headline for an interesting case: "Death-row prisoner gets pregnant in solitary." Yup, you read that right: Reuters reported this week that a Vietnamese death-row inmate, held in solitary confinement for almost a year, has been found to be 11 weeks pregnant. Convicted heroin trafficker Nguyen Thi Oanh is now seeking a pardon from her death sentence by firing squad. (Reuters notes that in Vietnam, trafficking more than 600 grams of heroin is punishable by death or with a life sentence; Oanh was in possession of a billion dong, or $63,000, worth of the drug.)

Most immediately, authorities are dealing with the mystery of how she became pregnant, since her husband is serving jail time in another province. Two guards have been detained in a police investigation, for allegedly "abusing their power" by allowing another inmate to stay in Oanh's cell.

Another question, however, may throw pro-choice activists: What happens to Oanh's sentence? It is against Vietnamese law to carry out a death sentence on a pregnant woman or women with a child under the age of three, so her pregnancy may save her life. That's good news for Oanh, but it raises some tricky questions: What is the justification for pardoning a pregnant woman on death row? If Oanh is pardoned solely because she is pregnant, is the Vietnamese court system protecting the right of an 11-week-old fetus to live?

In the United States, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act recognizes crimes against a pregnant mother to be crimes against her child. We've stopped short, however, of extending acts of justice against the mother to her fetus. The U.S. hasn't faced a case like Oanh's, perhaps because only a small percentage of inmates on death row are women. But some states have provisions in place for pregnant inmates: South Dakota makes exceptions in administering the death penalty to pregnant women, delaying an execution past the prescribed 90 days if an inmate is pregnant or deemed mentally unfit.

I'm against all executions, so my vote goes against the death penalty in Oanh's case -- but not on the basis of her pregnancy. After all, surely some of the men who receive the death penalty have recently fathered children. Is it right for women -- even criminal women -- to be spared on the basis that they happen to be the gender lucky enough to get the womb? I'm torn. Faithful readers, weigh in.
