I've said it before, and nothing has changed - you can't fight a war of any sort, claiming the moral high ground, when you engage in disgusting tactics, and dehumanize your enemy. It automatically costs you any claim to moral superiority.
The ends don't justify the means if they destroy the very ends in question.
There is no moral high ground in war, so stop with that ridiculous red herring.
These people are not in Gitmo because they were innocent little Muslims minding their own business. They are jihadists and extremists who would gut you and yours on the spot if they had the chance. Some of them already probably killed at least one of your fellow countrymen on the field of battle and others who have been released because they supposedly were no threat hav been recaptured trying to kill coalition soldiers in Afghanistan. And here you are defending them, feeling sorry for them and their whacky fundie ideas, because they were humiliated, while their ideological brethren in Iraq are cutting the heads off of people?
Cry me a massive river.
The zeal in here of some to overlook the obvious for the mere pleasure of inpugning the US admin makes me sick. What a bunch of partisan troglodytes frequent this place.
What was the sig someone had in here about your ideology controlling you. Well ain't it the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
