To those cheering this ruling, I have to ask....do you want the US to win in the WOT or not?
Anytime someone supports a move which weakens our war effort, you just gotta ask....
And we have a winner!
Attempting to neuter the discussion by implying that those of us who agree with the high court's ruling want the terrorists to win.
Thank you for proving my earlier point perfectly.
How quickly we forget 9/11 and the almost 3000 americans that died that day. Why don't we ask those families what they think we should do with the terrorists in gitmo. They are prisoners of war, not american citizens, and should not be afforded the rights of an american citizen, when they are enemy combatants.
No one's forgotten at all. The reason we don't ask the families, or shouldn't in my opinion, is that their response would be based on their emotions, not the law. You again call them both prisoners of war (which they are by definition) and "enemy combatants", either way they have the right of habeus corpus. How is this such a threat? All it means is that they can challenge their imprisonment. Nothing else. Some of these people have been imprisoned for years without a single forthcoming charge, because the administration keeps saying that they can't say what the people are charged with. That's a national secret.
Would be comfortable with your son or daughter being treated like that?
