?Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them?" Gandalf

You guys are with Mordor :p

Ok OK, lets say the USA gets away with some international support for its Kangaroo court verdicts of death to terrorists masterminds. The problem is it just kicks a can down the road because then the international community will demand at least the same standards for all the other people being held in GITMO.

And will be asking our diplomatic advocates what about all the others. As usual, GWB&co. fails to think ahead.

Our diplomats can't be the good guys while pretending GWB&co. are the good guys. Its simply offsetting hypocrisy crapola.

By then Frodo was out of his mind.

We torture confessions out of our prisoners, then use those confessions as evidence for convicting them in kangaroo courts and executing them off US soil to sidestep our own laws.

That isn't the America I support.

We're supposed to be the good guys, who follow a higher standard than third-world dictatorships. These people may all deserve death (some certainly do) but the case against them continues to be tainted by this administration's actions.

I see that many of you would be apt to throw a party if/when these six men, allegedly involved in 9/11, walk free.

That saddens me.

Sadly, such is the case for some of them.

Others simply want to see a fair trial for them.

What will be the saddest is if they [particularly Khalid] walk free because of some technicality...like information extracted through torture which is deemed inadmissible.

fvck it.. let 'em walk free... just tell us where they'll be dropped off.

I'm sure someone in the self-respecting 49% of America will take care of the rest... :evil:

The US has also decided that they can execute the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay after their Kangaroo Court is done with them.

What a mockery this administration is making of itself, the USA, and all the Americans killed in WWII fighting people of similar mentality to this administration. Once again this administration, representing all of the US, manages to sink lower than rock bottom. It will be interesting to see how much further down they can drag the US before they are kicked out. To think there is almost a whole year left...
What would you like to see done with these guys?

This is the sad part. I am all for a fair and open trial, and if/when convicted, a speedy execution. Let all the evidence be seen by everyone, and keep everything clean and above-board, so the whole world can see we are playing by the rules.

But when you lock people up for years while torturing them, it kind of makes it hard to have a fair trial. So if they were to "walk" (which I don't think would ever happen anyway, but for the sake of argument), who is at fault? The people that let them off, or the people that broke the rules and created the situation that got them off? Lose/Lose proposition either way. Let them off or kill them anyway, and have the whole world hate you for breaking your own laws.

When a DA screws up a case and a guilty man goes free, you blame the DA, not the criminal or defense lawyer.

Vigilante-ism? Not cool.

Track them, I'm sure they will meet up with some bad people, then you can have a live-fire training op.
