I am, quite frankly, horrified that a supposedly sane, and educated American Jew would espouse such a position. It is so reminiscent of the Nazi era when "superior" people decided on a final solution for groups they designated "inferior". Millions of people, including six million Jews, were slaughtered as a result.

Mr. Dershowitz is not presently advocating "extermination", but what is the logical conclusion to such arbitrary valuations of human beings? It seems obvious to me, that He learned nothing from the holocaust. 

He has lost my respect, is that enough to put me on his list of undesirables?

Re: Re: The Preventative State
To suggest that Mr. Dershowitz was advocating a response similar to the Nazi's methods is to make clear how poorly one has listened to what he said.  I heard nothing more than a thoughtful disquistion on what we face in dealing with new risks in light of a system of jurisprudence based upon providing safeguards to people accused of a crime, as opposed to those we think may be about to commit a crime.  There was no advocacy of what to do, just that we can't rely on the existing system to help us.  We need to think about this.
