It was a direct litany from an ABA criticism about club Gitmo.

The no jury, no habeas corpus, no trial was all pure commentary from various lawyer groups.


I pay THEM to be entertained. I do not pay to watch left wing lunatic propaganda.

It was a cheat. The only way to see pirates 3 is when it comes out on free TV or a bootleg falls off a truck into your lap.

Oh I get it now... But I think thats a stretch. Historically there were incidences of pirates being hung without trial, and for generally the same reasons terrorists don't get them. Because they fought under no national flag and did not obey international maritime law they were often not considered deserving of its considerations. However, by your logic this interpretation would lead to the conclusion that they are trying to make terrorism sympathetic by equating Jack Sparrow with Ben Laden. I don't care how "anti-American" most of Hollywood is, that's a stretch. There comes a time where these accusations of unpatriotic activities become subject to reductio ad abserdem themselves.
