Its pointless Hagbard. You mention BBC in these forums and the Bushies will be over you like Wolfowitz on a plan to attack an Arab nation.
so in order to protect liberty, you are willing to violate it?Originally posted by: Napalm
You must be some sort of communist to make an idiotic post like this.
I think that we are all safer with these guys detained as they are - even if there is no evidence that they have done anything wrong. The notion that people are innocent until proven guilty worked great before 9/11, but now it is obsolete. We must continue to take rights and freedom from others so that our rights and freedom are protected - even if taking their rights and freedom only makes us feel safer.
What a glorious new world we live in...

PS. Go back to Russia.
Edit: I am never quite sure whether those stupid winky faces are necessary for the sarcasm-challenged...

I don't think it's the source in this case, but rather the content. You're not likely to find much of a sympathetic audience on these forums for the Guantanamo detainees. Heck, most would probably say we should have just martyred them on the battlefield long ago.

There are detainees at Guantanamo who aren't from the battlefield. They are held without charges and incommunicado.
