American jobs are being lost to the practice of "extraordinary rendition."

Contrast with
Torture:
Do it professionally, or don't do it at all.

Torture at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo:
The buck stops where?
Commanders-in-Chief worthy of the name (e.g., Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy) take responsibility for what happens "on their watch."

Neither success nor failure
is ever permanent.
Thanks to Bob Taylor, the legendary research manager at ARPA, PARC, and DEC/SRC.
Bob's most common exhortation was
"It is insufficiently considered that men require more often to be reminded than informed."--Samuel Johnson
which is a bit long for a bumper sticker, but a good explanation for the effectiveness of some of the best bumper stickers.

Ideas are like Antiques: The best ones are old.
Or:
Just being old doesn't make them good.
Some people collect them but don't use them.
Handle them with care.
Beware of counterfeits.
