Guilty until proven innocent

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (CNN) -- President Bush on Friday hailed the capture of a man U.S. officials describe as a high-ranking al Qaeda leader, saying authorities had brought to justice a "killer."

Not another boring rant about politics but something that irks me just the same. Remember how we pride ourselves in a justice system that says "innocent until proven guilty"? Well in my own personal opinion, the individual just caught could very well be an Al-Qaeda member guilty of being the mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing but.... How can you bring a killer to justice without a trial? How can you be sure the killer indeed played the role you suspect he did?

Blah. A president who has no clue about rights combined with sensationalism just plain sucks. And exactly who is the killer Dubya? One who masterminds the bombing of the USS Cole or one who masterminds the starvation of Afghans by not delivering aid promised? So much for the war on terror.
