We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

A Non-argumentative “Rebuttal” In my earlier article, as I think Natalija noticed, I spoke primarily of what I think are realistic options on what will happen. My own views are of course imbedded in what I write, but perhaps a clearer statement is in order.
If Mr. Walker is a member of al Qaeda, then there are no options. He should be tried for Treason.
If he is not an al Qaeda member he should be given the option to stay in Afghanistan. He would be handed over to the Northern Alliance with the other foreign Taliban soldiers.
If he wishes to retain his American citizenship and to ever return there, he must take his chances with a Treason trial. If ten years from now he finds he really wants to return, the answer is the same.
There are some rules you must keep to if you chose to be a member of a society. It is one thing to wish to change the society you exist within; it is quite another to work to bring about the deaths of fellow citizens while simultaneously partaking of its’ liberties.
You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
