I am ashamed.

“Kassem added the prisoners have made signs and posters in English, now plastered on their cell blocks, asking ‘Where are the Courts?’, ‘What About our Rights?’, and ‘Where is Democracy?’”

To read that makes me sick. How predictable that rights and democracy only matter when it is most convenient for them.

-Was the desire for rights and democracy from the United States considered when they decided to align themselves with anti-American forces and carry out attacks on Americans and others?

-Were rights and democracy at the top of the Taliban agenda when they were governing in Afghanistan? Are the Taliban employing rights and democracy in the areas they currently control?

The answer is no.

(weaselzippers)

The Taliban are entitled to POW status. The US has refused them that. Most of the men held at Guantanamo are allegedly terrorists, al Qaeda. But most of them are innocent, and the government knows this. Many of them were sold to the US for the reward money by dishonest Afghans. Some are guilty of no more than defending their homes and country. But releasing them would make the government look bad, and it’s very difficult to try them honestly, because most are innocent and even those guilty of something were tortured, so the government’s evidence is useless or a lie. So the government will hold them indefinitely or try to quietly fob them off on some out of the way nation.
So for most of these men, your arguments are complete bullshit. And keep in mind that the US’s allies in Afghanistan are as brutal as the Taliban and much more corrupt.

Kill yourself

“But releasing them would make the government look bad…”

Would it make the govt look as bad as not keeping the promise to close the place down does?

When they flew those planes from iraq/afghanistan into our country they deserve it. I have 14 made-in-china decals on my car to show how patriotic I am, how about you? Did those good-for-nothin “border-crossers” steal your job, too? And where is “Barry’s” birth certificate? You sure got my dander up. Asswipe.

I can’t fathom the emotional trauma these men have endured.
I would imagine if they weren’t a danger to society before, they are now.

YOU make me sick with your GUILTY until proven innocent attitude.

Why do you hate our constitution?

Why do you hate Americaa?

Nothing there but poor farmers being tortured for the fake war on terror. The real Al CIAda was allowed to escape after the battle of Tora Bora where Osama and other leaders were flown out of the country. http://republicconstitution.blogspot.com/ Read about it here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A62618-2002Apr16?language=printer http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8853000/site/newsweek/ http://911blogger.com/news/2005-08-08/cia-commander-admits-bin-laden-was-allowed-escape-tora-bora

No one flew planes from iraq/afghanistan into this nation. Get real and wake up. 911 was an INSIDE JOB!

Especially since no one has ever PROVEN that ANY of these people ever did ANYTHING wrong. But ignorant and gullible Americans feel compelled to defend their imprisonment and torture. Sickening.

Haven’t we tortured these men enough?

We should ALL be ashamed that WE let the criminal government create criminal places like these. When will we be in the streets? The last decent protest that i was at was in DC a few years back.

But I thought the food was good in GTMO.
Why do they hate Amerika? Even money says we support the protesters in Egypt if it looks like they are certain to win.

Bombing people for peace is like have sex to preserve virginity. Inside the mind of an idiot, hold on Rush is back on.

He haw he haw.

Before you get sick, realize that these men are being held without trial. Some, maybe many, were delivered by bounty hunters with no proof at all that they committed any anti-American act or attack. When you realize that this is what our great country has dissolved to, you may become sick.

If there is evidence, that your assumptions are true about these detainees, show it. How do you know your assertions to be true? A gut feeling?

Why haven’t even military tribunals been held to “prove” their guilt, after all of these years?

I mean, surely there must be evidence as to what you assert are their crimes.

As others who have already replied to you have noted, that the Northern Alliance warlord thugs in Afghanistan, were given money for each person rounded up and handed over to the US Military. No evidence, no nothing.

But who am I to get in the way of your emotional attachment to some notion in your head?

I do believe that dennycrane was being facetious. His parting shot, “Asswipe” is the biggest clue. I agree with your last sentence however.

Not only that, they haven’t even been CHARGED with anything.

Yeah, huzzah! Well, except for so many of them, who were innocents turned in for reward money.

I have a feeling that there are a high number of ‘embarrassments’ amongst the arrestees too. By ‘embarrassments’, I mean innocents. I also think that it makes sense to consider that if this is the case, that the prisoners are also known to be innocent, and that is the key reason that they won’t ever see a charge that can be refuted, or let go to plead their case to the public – while the wars are still profitable.

They need to let these men go. They’re not charged with anything, most of them are there for being in a house that was raided, out after curfew or being accused of something just because someone didn’t like them. Being in the military and working at one of these facilities in Iraq I can say that the military are the ones who are terrorist. When i was there most of the soldiers treated the Iraqis like they were animals. Their living condition was horrible. They lived in a tent with concrete floors, the rules they had to abide by were ridiculous. I didn’t enforce any rules on them, an example of some of the rules are they were not to walk around the compound in groups larger than 3′s. Which is nearly impossible due to the space they are given. Another rule was they were not allowed to talk to another detainee in a different compound and if they did we were ordered to shoot them with a non-lethal weapon. I told my officer I’m not shooting a person for talking so he took my place in the tower and fired away. It’s disgusting how people treat others who are different.

The story of Guantanamo Bay is heartbreaking.

It’s disgusting what the war criminals Bush and Cheney have done, and what Obama has failed to correct.
