[used2bfedup1]

Ol Tex is a bitter little wo-man. Poor upbringing if you ask me. Parents never tought her/him/it to play nice or to be able to lose so it gets on here and throws temper tantrums 24-7.

grow up Rush.

[nothappyatall]

Forget that these prisoners have not been CHARGED with anything yet held offshore for years to skirt US laws.

"We can''t put people in a dungeon forever without processing whether they deserve to be there."

Why not? thru the church history it not only jailed people w/o cause other than having ablack cat, being suspected as "witches" or "heretics", it also executed them.

[used2bfedup1]

Tex u are on here b!tchin 24-7 you evidently dont have a job.

Biting the hand that feeds you?

[used2bfedup1]

Look at that a President doin something.

GO Obama

From the above article, "Many of the about 250 Guantanamo detainees are cleared for release, but the Bush administration has been unable to find a country willing to take them."

__________________--

So there is no country willing to accept these fine individuals, even their own. Why? Because they are such good upstanding citizens, or just common thugs?

A small life raft comes to mind, in the middle of one of the oceans, 8 oz. bottle of water and one day supply of MRE. If they survive and make it to land they can stay.

''Many of the about 250 Guantanamo detainees are cleared for release, but the Bush administration has been unable to find a country willing to take them.''

Does anyone else find this paragraph troubling? They''re cleared to be released but their countries of origin won''t take them? Why not? If they''re innocent , what''s the problem?

And the part about rehabilitation is laughable - you really think you can rehabilitate an Islamocrazy into becoming a Birkenstock-wearing, tree-hugging, Kumbaya-singing peacenik? ROTFL! If you buy that I suggest you volunteer rehabilitating a child molester while he moves in with you and your kids.

[get_it_str8]

Let''s get these guys out on the street and give them a driver''s license and a gubment check so they can buy some diesel and fertilizer and a van and go wherever they want.

[formrusmcsgt]

Gitmo is a black eye for America.

It''s formation erased our moral authority to deal with others on human rights.

They respond, "you jail people indefinitely without charging them as well, so ****!"

What in the hell is this guy talking about?

Justice?

[jaybill07]

What in the hell is this guy talking about? That is the most unintelligible garbage that I''ve ever heard. No one has put too lofty of expectations on his shoulders. YOu have misinterpreted the magnitude and the popularity of this election with great expectations. Also, I think that lofty expectations are pretty commonplace when a non-incumbant president comes into office. People mostly expect a fresh positive start. I do not see anything wrong or flawed with that approach.

[eclecticman1]

Seeing that most of the prisoners were purchased from various Afghanistan militias, it is about time we discovered if they are really dangerous. A lot have already been freed, showing that the Bushies jailed them wrongly. It is about time we go back to our principals, both written and unwritten. We are not a dictatorship, but a democracy where law rules.

So how''s that Bin Laden "dead or alive" thingy going?

[sly_64]

Rights aren''''t rights if someone can take em away. They''''re priveledges. That''''s all we''''ve ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get''''s shorter, and shorter, and shorter.

In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That''''s all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind.

Not to forget that the largest number of kidnap victims are from Yemen, neither Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, or Iraq.

So quick to call someone "the enemy" who has never attacked you, the 9/11 perps were 17 Saudis, one from Qatar, and one from Bahrain, no Iraqis in the lot.

Since you have no reason to, but continue to refer to the victims of Bush''s lies as "the enemy", it is clear that you lack the ability to understand that these people are innocent of any charge, because defending your land is not illegal.

They did not make themselves our enemy, you, and the other Bush suck-ups call them so.

[earache4]

Send the detainees to a red state like Texas....I know, I know, cruel and unusual punishment, but hey, they''re terrorists....

[brianbwb-2009]

"All things in time; Justice grinds slowly but it does, nonetheless, grind. When someone in the soon-to-be-cleansed DoJ gathers enough evidence, and when someone in The Hague exerts enough international pressure, then Bush will become grist. Until then, Mde. LaFarge knits." Posted by evian_ycnan

True, but there is another consideration, one of time.

The establishment that the military aggression in Iraq was based on lies lays the foundation for the US to demand the return of billions of dollars from the war profiteers, especially the billions that went missing without proper accounting.

We need that money at home, and we need to take it before the thieves make all of it disappear.

[irmcvet97]

Does anyone here realize that many of the detainess that were released have been killed or been recaptured while trying to kill Americans AGAIN. What does it take to wake up you a-holes.

Posted by guyfrompa49 at 07:26 AM : Nov 11, 2008


Look you either BELIEVE in our very soul, our justice system, or you do NOT! What has become so clear over the last 8 years is that fascist haven''t change any since the last time we gave them control. They STILL do not believe in it. IF people have done wrong, put together the evidence and put them on TRIAL! If you can not do that then release them and move on! The thing we can NOT do is show two faces to people in the world. One system is okay for American''s but NOT okay for others? Equal but different? Just doesn''t work people and our position in the world shows that.

[skyhawk761]

If even one of these detainees kills another American, I will bring charges against the person who signed the release paper for the killer and bring impeachment charges against the abettor President who released that killer.

I''m sure that Barak is craping in his pants as we speak. After eight years of a President that said the Constitution was nothing but a "*******" piece of paper this is nothing.
