- Judge Green Lights Gitmo War Crime Trials...
Oh WOW, you liberals must be foaming at the mouth now that you know your buddies will be going to trial. I just hope that if they are convicted, the sentance is carried out RIGHT AWAY. - Reply to this comment

1) "Since there is Irrefutable Evidence that most of these guys were Tortured"
Not nly a lie, but wishful thinking by this far left idiot.
2)"...Neocons.....you Nazis..."
Too bad you didn''t take one of the other 50,000''s place in Vietnam. You are obviously suffering from PTSD to the point of where you''d be better off that way. - Reply to this comment
- Since there is Irrefutable Evidence that most of these guys were Tortured, in Violation of US Law and International Law and Treaty, and is categorized by ALL Civilized Nations Laws as a War Crime, any "Convictions" will Immediately be set aside until these Allegations can be decided. Any "Evidence" gained during Torture Sessions will be Disallowed.
Sorry, Neocons.....you Nazis should have studied History...... - Reply to this comment
- "Our own clandestine operations do all of these things including smuggling drugs and worse. Those are all freedom fighters though.
How many heads have we sawed off lately, jerk !
Perhaps you live in Iran or Venezuela ? - Reply to this comment
- We don''t even have a legal definition of terrorist, torture, enemy combatant or war. Our own clandestine operations do all of these things including smuggling drugs and worse. Those are all freedom fighters though.
Did you hear Bush''s recent Definition of abortion ? It now includes birth control pills, iuds, and other contraception!
Clinton never even defined " is " - Reply to this comment
- stn_sage - nope, you don''t understand it correctly.
This is the first war I''ve ever heard of where internees are given a trial.
So, I have a question for you. If Obama should find himself painted into a corner on Iran telling him, "yes, we are making a bomb, and there is nothing you can do about it.", something that very well COULD happen, should we call him a chicken-hawk if he asks for a declaration of war.
The man didn''t serve, right ? Isn''t that the criteria ? - Reply to this comment
- "This just in. Tony Snow has now made it five days without telling a lie. This is a personal record for him. News at 11. - Posted by Smirk5
The above is the sort of remark I have come to expect from a far left idiot.
Oh and here''s another...
"Ahhh, the Bu$hCo/NeoCon whitewash of their own crimes on 9/11 continues... - Posted by inventagod2
Honestly, how do sane people align themselves with this sort of human garbage. Obama supporters - disavow yourselves of these idiots. - Reply to this comment
- Let me see if I understand this correctly:
1. It''s almost seven years after 9/11.
2. The Bush administration has concocted a new, fake category of criminal, an enemy combatant.
3. They''ve set up special courts designed to DENY common legal rights given to both civilians and military members.
4. Federal appeals courts have made various rulings about rules that do or don''t apply to the defendants; but, now they''re FINALLY ready to have the FIRST trial, under this questionable system?!
5. And who is the first defendant? Osama Bin Laden, perhaps? NOPE! None other than the infamous, chauffeur of Osama Bin Laden! YES, that''s right! BinLadens'' driver! NEXT, they''ll try BinLadens'' French pastry chef! Or, his valet! Or, his maid, etcetera!
6. This is or should be a sad, historical moment in American jurisprudence that the U.S. government would proceed to hold such a scurrilous trial! It represents an onerous mark against the American Justice system that will not easily be erased from the minds of the rest of the worlds'' peoples!
7. It IS part of Bush''s legacy! Unfortunately, it is a negative part, but then, what ISN''T?! - Reply to this comment

- In the preface to a report by Physicians for Human Rights on the %u201Cmedical evidence of torture by the U.S.,%u201D former Abu Ghraib investigator ret. Army Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba writes that President Bush %u201Cauthorized a systematic regime of torture%u201D that has stained %u201Cour national honor.%u201D Taguba, who first spoke out publicly in June 2007, bluntly accuses the Bush administration of committing war crimes:
"After years of disclosures by government investigations, media accounts, and reports from human rights organizations, there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes. The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account."
The report found that medical examinations of 11 former detainees revealed %u201Cscars and other injuries consistent with their accounts of beatings, electric shocks, shackling and, in at least one case, sodomy.%u201D - Reply to this comment
