Now that is just too funny.
Al Jazeerais nothing more than an arm of the muslim so called religion.
How does that work?

http://usmilitary.about.com/library/milinfo/genevacon/blart-2.htmIn addition to the provisions which shall be implemented in peace time, the present Convention shall apply to all cases of declared war or of any other armed conflict which may arise between two or more of the High Contracting Parties, even if the state of war is not recognized by one of them.
Al Jazeera is a quality news source for the most part. They occasionally have a spin from the region, but all news has some spin.
Shouldn't be surprising that those held in Gitmo don't have trials when now the government can hold US citizens without trial.
Agreed. For a news source from that regioun, it shows very little bias.
No, I do not agree. It is nothing more than the terrorists new outlet.
So basically, you are claiming they are evil, so it is somehow OK for you to be evil? Wow.
Oooookay....yet another bigoted ignorant poster here on AT.:thumbsdown:
"Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion. In the international community, however, terrorism has no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition.[1][2] Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or, ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians)."
Technically under this broad definition, the US is also a terrorist organization. So kindly stop being blind. Al Jazeera is just as legitimate as any new source we can get.[/QUOTE]
Now that's funny and I completely agree with it.
As for what the definition of terrorisms is, I defer to and paraphrase Justice Potter Stewart, I can't define terrorisms, but I know it when I see
it.
hahahahahaaaaa out of the mouth of a Canadian...lol
Combat forces were authorized by a vote of both Houses of Congress for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There ya go.
Iraq was 'mission accomplished' in May 2003. That is when you return prisoners.
WTF is with these open ended war powers? How long before you betray us and turn these powers against Americans?

As an aside, another Geneva Convention needs to be conviened to create rules on what to do with Illegal Enemy Combatants. When they first few were made, no one dreamed there would be many tens of thousands of illegal enemy combatants so they did not bother to create rules on what to do with them. We need rules on what to do so that we can punish those who violate them. Without rules, there can be no punishment for violation since there can be no violation.
Shouldn't be surprising that those held in Gitmo don't have trials when now the government can hold US citizens without trial.
