Pure, unadalterated bollocks .................
LOL! Save, of course, for the odious regimes the Bush admin continues to support.
i was under the impression there was no proof. maybe we should ram a broom hndle up ur bum and see if u consider that a necessary evil.
How do you know? Are you privy to some information that no one else is? Or do you just blindly believe whatever the US government says?
You're funny
Really? What do you base this claim on?
In a war, those detained have certain rights. In this case those rights are not being observed.
If we really are fighting tyranny, the the first weapons are freedom, justice and accountability. About time we used them.
Surely you say that with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek, given that they are currently supporting odious regimes.
An excellent series.
One which, if you have been watching it, would point out that there is more than one "side" to this problem.
Now the US Government may be right that these are dangerous killers who be quite happy to kill hundreds of civilians for their cause. I tend to suspect that they weren't wandering around the wilds of Pakistan admiring the local wildlife and were in fact linked with the Taliban or Al-Q.
But the point is that unless you can proove it in a court of law my suspisions, President Bush's, Bliars and everyone else's is just a view. And until they are brought to court and convicted they should be treated as innocent of any crime.
thing is luke, they indeed could be dangerous terrorists that need constant watch or they could be innocent normal people but we have no proof of this, thats the thing that annoys us, how would you feel if you were arrested and put in constant watch without proof or a trial, very angry i'd say.
The pleasure I would get from shoving a broom handle up bushes arse.....
I'm afraid to say that the bush administration really has increased my anti-american sentiment - and im not even a terrorist! The more I think about it all, the more it p***** me off.
To be honest, superpowers always cause the biggest mess. The US would be better off if the states were all made into seperate, independent countries. It would redirect focus on local issues and stop them from trying to waste their time telling everyone else what they should be doing.
Simple as.
Bet they wish they had done that with these now instead of bringing em back to Cuba.
BTW Im not a fan of guantanamo bay, but im also not a fan of brits strolling around Afganistan during war time claiming to be doing a computer course, These people shouldnt have been treated like the were, but they way some are almost proclaiming them as "heros" on thier return I do find very strange.
I still havnt heard one logical reason why the other 3 were out in the area at the time (Though I do have to admit if they was an innocent one Mohammed Begg does appear to be performing some sort of charity work so id be most inclined to believe what he has to say) The other 3 I wouldnt want to meet at any point in my life.
BTW, I doubt any of the Guantanamo detainees have any desire whatsoever to meet you. I bet they've had their fill of oiks who think that they know it all, and theres no need for due process.
When you join the army, don't forget your camera. Your mum'll love the snapshots and with a bit of luck they'll end up on the front page of all the papers as well.
But you have just right the right attitude.
And I'm sure you think that the torture looks like fun......
US judge: military tribunals for Guantanamo are illegal
Good to see there are still a few decent human beings in a position of power in the USA.
Though I wouldn't expect this judge's career to last much longer, after daring to expose the US government as the evil fascist cunts they are.
"The Sun never set on the British Empire because it rises in the East and sets in the West."
Whatever happens, empires will always be bad news. They force foreign ideals onto people and suffocate their freedom. Then they loot and pillage everyone until all the money has gone, and say here, have your independance back.
I have grave concerns about the way Britain does exactly what the US tells it too. One of many reasons I will not be voting for Blair.
they already do control it, i can go outside and do whatever i want, i have loads of freedom in that sense but they can turn all the lights out and nuke us at the blink of an eye, its control and it scares me.
we were so close with the cuban crisis if memory serves me correct, the basic ideals of humans have changed over the past few centuries, there's no such thing as compassion, it's human gain, it's lies, corruption, power. it's like saying why pollute the air and earth with chemicals, cos we can get from A to B easily, cos we can make nice food, it's us being too greedy and i'm sure america wouldn't hesitate in nuking somewhere because it serves their interests, i really wouldn't, saying that, i think ireland is the safest place in the world at the mo, the americans love us because half of them are us and terrorists actually look at our own cause for inspiration so we're fine and dandy for now
