It seems the supreme irony to me that we prosecute the people protesting at the Republican National convention for planning a parade, for simply being in the wrong place during a crowd arrest or for dancing in the street. At the same time, we encourage St Thomas Law Professor Robert Delahunty, to teach our college students that the end justifies the means. This information comes from Robert Delahunty's own students speaking to peace advocates at St Thomas yesterday. Robert Delahunty wrote the bogus legal justification for torture. If words matter, then Delahunty is very responsible for outrageous acts of torture. So if "ends justify means" then why are we prosecuting all of the Republican National convention protesters? Maybe the problem was that they just broke minor traffic laws and damaged property instead of torturing people. Because according to law taught by our professors at our local St Thomas college, torture is justified and legal and the end justifies the means!
