Is all fair in love and war?

If it is, then the Holocaust was justified.

If it is, then Guantanamo Bay was justified.

But these are not justified. Even prisoners and those unlawfully held have a basic set of human rights that should not be violated.

Charles Kennedy also had human rights. He should not have been subject to abuse during the "war" of a general election campaign; robust debate does not mean abusing your opponent or taunting him over an illness.

If it really needs to be said, then let me say it.

All is not fair in love and war.
