- Can Anyone Be An "Enemy Combatant"?
Of course. Just break wind within 100 yards of Shooter or Shrub and you''ll get a free ride to the torture gulag of their choice. - Reply to this comment
- First of all there has been no declaration of war by the Congress. A few individuals here and there hardly constitutes an invasion. If there is that much evidence, what is the problem with convicting him? It seem the evidence is just propaganda to scare Americans in surrendering the Constitution. If people can "disappear" in the US we already have a military dictatorship. I suspect we can be investigated for posting here too as "sympathizers". Even Hitler could not smoke the Jews within Germany and had to take them out to other contries where they were beyond the protections of German law. See a pattern here? We should shut up and start calling for incinerating all arabs. They are semites too. We don''t want to look unpatriotic, so start nuking preemptively. McCain will do the job. Any leftover arabs will hate their semite Jew cousins even more and will do them in. The final solution will have been accomplished.

- Read the Constitution. Our enemy is not denied rights because they are off shore. The writ of Habeaus Corpus for example is denied in "cases of rebellion or invasion" in the body of the Constitution.
We have all of these "reporters", and their flagrant dishonesties, that they are allowed to get away with, because many of their readers will never bother to check out the stories that they tell. - Reply to this comment
- The problem with all this is really simple - the Bush administration are proven liars - for all we know the entire case against this man may be as bogus as the WMD''s. If all they say is true, why not take him to court and get it over with? As I''ve said before, to believe anything Bush and his co-conspirators spew forth smacks of lunacy. These criminals shouldn''t be given more power - they should be tried for the genocide they''ve already committed and since no one seems in a big hurry to do that, ie the congress etc, they must at least be acquiescing with these traitors. Its like putting the wolves in charge of the henhouse!

- Why let civil rights and the Constitution get in the way of what the Bush Administration wishes to do? The government has our best interests at heart. Trust them.

- Our borders are leaky for a reason. If scary people can''''''''t get in and do bad things, the government seems less important.

Frankly, it has nothing to do with borders. Those people came to this country and were already on watch lists. Now, as strict as immigration is about who can come and when, I would like to know how it is possible for people on a terrorist watch list to have free access and roaming privileges in the United States? Somebody made a decision somewhere to let them in. Who was it?

** That is why there should be NO amnesty for illegals! Raise the levels of how many immigrants can come in legally, but NO AMNESTY! I hate bush and Juan AMnesty mccain, does that make me an enemy cmobatant? - Reply to this comment

- cooperre is right, ... better yet, we could send Rove to Gitmo for special treatment, maybe even some rendition. I''d like to see the Committee hearing at Gitmo, where they could waterboard him until they get the truth out of him.

- A war crimes tribunal ax would swing both ways and I hope it would ensnare all religious leaders in Iraq for keeping the sectarian strife going and not seeking to broker a peace agreement among all Muslims whether Sunni, Shiite, or Kurd. It is not Bush who keeps the war going but the power struggle over the emerging democracy. Its a black and white thang as in the civil war, fostered by religious leaders and power mongers, same ''ol same ''ol. Sunnis had power with Saddam, now afraid to lose it, innocents caught in the middle as usual, and heavy collateral damage on all sides including ours for assisting a emerging democracy amongst a people that want it, need it, and have to have it. As usual peace is brokered through war.The Iraqi students I spoke with, want us there, and say we are helping. Some have had their family members arrested/killed by Saddam''s regime before we entered the picture.

- Im all for what bush has done to this non-citizen. The evidence collected so far for the prosecution does not favor this "student" and his treatment is appropriate for someone with this background and evidence to date unless the defense can prove otherwise in this time of war. He didnt steal an apple folks, to feed his hungry US born self and family-wake up!!-sometimes the White House may have more information than us, the public, although we forever see ourselves as equal, equally knowledgeable, and equally informed. Its just not true. It hurts, but sometimes you just have to trust in the bureaucracy. Sure its not perfect. Dont like it? Run for office and change it!

- just one more reason for Big Brother to start pulling people off the street and torturing confessions out of innocent (or not quite so guilty) people that will never be heard of again.

Sir or Madam, where do I contribute to your 2012 presidential campaign? - Reply to this comment
- I still would like to know why and how people who were already on terrorist watch lists were allowed into this country legally. I wonder when somebody will ask the big questions?
