Hirsch @ Raytheon Co., Portsmouth RI) Distribution: net Organization: Raytheon Co., Portsmouth RI Lines: 10 Before anybody totally condemns out of hand what Nicaragua does in response to their civil war, remember a country that suspended habeus corpus and set up political prisoner camps during its civil war, right in its own territory for its own people. The country was the United States, and the President was Lincoln. It was perfectly constitutional and probably justifiable, but the net effect was to suspend the civil liberties of the American people.
