"Human rights is a very flexible concept" by toxin2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Hmmm The messenger appears suspect by DesertRat662005-02-08 12:28:37
    I believe this is one removed for advocating by toxin2005-02-08 12:40:10
      Further from Wikipedia, his view on Iraq: by toxin 2005-02-08 12:47:54
"Scheuer is particularly critical of the U.S.-led war on Iraq, which he characterizes as "an avaricious, premeditated, unprovoked war against a foe who posed no immediate threat but whose defeat did offer economic advantages." For Scheuer, the war in Iraq was like a "Christmas gift" to bin Laden not just because it distracted the U.S. military from the war against al Qaeda, but more importantly because it has provided global jihadists a failed state from which to operate that is even more conducive to terrorism than Afghanistan. By attacking and occupying the second holiest place in Islam, the U.S. has turned Iraq into a lightning rod for jihadists from around the globe to come attack the occupying armies. The invasion, he argues, has provided credibility and substance to bin Laden's assertion that terrorists are waging a defensive jihad against foreign occupier bent on destroying Islam."

Definitely a suspect messenger.
Please note that the CIA has done this to a Canadian who was passing through La Guardia airport on his way home. A year in a Syrian prison was the reward for the crime of having a connecting flight through the US.
