		<description><![CDATA[It is simply un-American to be unconcerned with due process and the rights of the accused.  That&#8217;s a given.  However, in the arena of crimes against humanity, the regular court system has often proved inadequate to the task of prosecution.  While military tribunals and special courts like the one at Nuremburg aren&#8217;t perfect, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of all, it was a major speech, obviously.  Some notable bullet points:
(1) Obama did not use the word terrorism or any variant in the entirety of the speech.  That can only be deliberate, one presumes to avoid fanning the flames considering the primary audience was intended to be the Arab public.
