Gitmo is illegal, the Iraq war is illegal, the US is acting like a bitch on PMS.
:roll:
What's the name of that bubble you live in?
Currently in Kabul, will be transporting some people to Bagram in the morning.
We all know that according to international law (which the US does cite ever so often in their favor but ignore when taking action) Gitmo and all other forms of detainment where the prisoners are not treated according to the Geneva conventions is illegal
This has been beat to death here. They are not prisoners of war. They are not in the uniform of any fighting force. Hence, not subject to Geneva Conventions.
I don't give a fuck about the politics regarding this bullshit, common sense tells me that an enemy combatant is a member of an enemy force and as such should be treated as such.
This doublespeak political bullshit has brought shame and disgust upon the brave men who are out fighting the war, i hate it and i hate people like you who support it.
I'm not unaware of the rules of engagement and we do abide by them, but this shit? Why don't we just nuke the entire fucking place and get it over with, it's not like we're ever going to get to a point where all of these countries will ever work with us.
I know what i see, i'm no great thinker or great politician, i know what i know and that is it, and what i do know is that this shit is not right.
Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.
Enemy combatant is not a prisoner of war. They are members of an enemy force, sure, but not any sovereign nation, hence they are not entitled to the protections of the Geneva Convention. So off to Club Gitmo they go. And IMO they can rot there till they die.
