An interesting essay, and food for thought. But I can see how easy is to pull the arguments in one direction or the other, raise all sorts of strawmen, and cover the floor with red herrings (the Rotter s.o.p.).
So what exactly is the point you are trying to make, besides the obvious fact that you like your look-alike, but hate McCarthy? Would you make the reverse argument if their positions were exchanged? I sort of see how that could happen.
More: Given that he was beyond the reach of our courts and very difficult to capture, our options as a practical matter were to kill him or to let him go on his way. Many of the critics, who ten years later still consider the War on Terror a police action or an elaborate metaphor, would be happy with the latter — consequences be damned.
So Mr Rot now takes the standard "Pussy eye for the Qaeda guy" position.
It's all making sense. After all, he's also taking now the standard pinko position that the State should pay for a free college education for everyone.

Mr. Rot declares enemies, foreign and domestic, to be no enemies at all... just gentlemen of a finer cut to their jib than the cads of FCP.

The point is that McCarthy dresses up pure bullshit in legalese and expects to impress people.
Of course you and AA are the only ones that fall for that appeal to authority and that's because you aren't Americans.
HLM Pepe probably gets it though because Westerners distrust authority while you and AA trip all over each other to hug the police state.
