You did something similar to another speaker at the convention in one of your "condensed" versions by using the word "brainwashed" by Europeans.  In that speech what was actually said was that we shouldn't fear Obama taking ideas to Europe, but should fear the ideas he brings back.  There was never any mention of the word "brainwash".  But, those who didn't listen to the speech and relied on your condensed version wouldn't be faulted for assuming that the speaker had accused Obama of having been brainwashed.

Why do we want to tell the world that if we even suspect you of being a terrorist, we can jail you, torture you, and never ever let you prove that your imprisonment was wrongful -- just because you aren't American, just because you look or sound like a Muslim, just because someone with a name like yours is on some watch list?

I have to repeat Bill Clinton's line from last week:

People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.

This fits with the theme that Republicans have been pushing about how Democrats wanted to prosecute these so-called terrorists in the criminal justice system.

Eastwood said that he has a deep respect for due process and Miranda rights.

but why is it that we continue to try to extend our rights to the world

The real issue is that without protections, regular Americans can be secreted away for protesting or other activities that should be protected by the Constitution.  An American here on American soil becomes an enemy combatant if the government accuses them of terrorism.  Right now, journalists who don't cooperate with Dubya are punished by restricted access; in the extreme, those people are at risk for imprisonment.  Conspiracy theories aside, it's not unreasonable to be concerned that the financial interests that back the current Repub admin could create a crisis that endangers Americans before the election this fall.  Now that additional states are requiring paper ballots, and because of increased scrutiny and the registration drive we'll be conducting in Sept. and Oct, there's less opportunity for massive election fraud by the Repubs.  If the election is clearly going to the Democrats, we're at risk for more extreme measures like the implementation of Bush's continuity of government signing statement which can only be responded to after the fact, given that this presidential directive lacks concrete plans and instead appoints people to work on a plan.  (Note also that it seems to put Dubya in charge of all three branches of government, not just the Executive branch.)  Given the current makeup of the SC, their previous decision declaring Bush won the presidential election, the ability to manipulate public discourse by making lefties the bad guys, the willingness of the military and even the police to unquestingly participate in undisclosed activities, and the secret provisions of Bush's signing statement (the classified Continuity Annexes), we could be in for electoral interference currently untested by the courts.
