Yob tvoyu maht!

Russian curse dittos!!

Human Rights Watch, which named the 11, said that the Red Cross had not been allowed to see them and their families

Since 9/11, the 3000 victims of these Koranimals will never get to see their families again either.

[lp boonie]

Not much of a secret.

[hgro]

Where is the Kleenex for these do gooding cry babies. They would be the first to scream if they were caught in a terrost trap and blame the President.

[kabar]

Exactly, the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to terrorists and non-state actors.

[TomGuy]

held in secret ???

That's some secret, considering that the story has been in the MSM for several days.

Isn't it interesting that the human rights orgs are more concerned about the rights and treatment of 11 of bin Laden's lieutenants than they were about the situations that lead to 2700 murdered on 9-11-01.

Wonder how much funding for these 'human rights orgs' come directly or indirectly from terrorist orgs and those funding terrorist orgs?

We found out recently that Saddam was paying off UN members. Is it so far fetched to think terrorist funders would do the same or 'human rights orgs'?

[wideawake]

Sorry, Human Rights Watch, but these guys are not prisoners of war.

Under the Geneva Convention they are technically spies and we can hang them whenever we want without trial.

If we feel like keeping them around for a while on our terms, not only are we entitled to do so but they should be grateful.

[TheDon]

Isn't it curious that Dan and Times both wrote an article in support of terrorists?

[Little Ray]

To be "shot while escaping" as soon as the interrogations are concluded?

[mewzilla]

Isn't it interesting that the human rights orgs are more concerned about the rights and treatment of 11 of bin Laden's lieutenants than they were about the situations that lead to 2700 murdered on 9-11-01.

Or the hundreds of thousands of men, women, children and babies that Saddamn slaughtered.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"Article 71: Prisoners of war shall be allowed to send and receive letters and cards."

That's if you are a prisoner of war with a represented country. What country are these prisoners from and is that country at war with us.

These "captives" should be classified as spies and as such, interrogated and shot.

[thepainster]

I too think we ought to let these guys go.

And while they are running away we should shoot them in the back, just as the did the children in Beslan.

[theFIRMbss]

>CIA secretly holds 11 of bin Laden's lieutenants

It's okay with me if they let them go [wink wink]. Maybe they can fly . . .

[unixfox]

Geneva convention only applies to war crimes, NOT terrorism!!

[IamJustright]

I'd like to think they used so much sodium amitol to get secrets they fried their brains.

[FreeInWV]

I hope they aren't in 'our' custody. 'Our' legal system and methods are far too humane & civilized. Its best to leave this to the Afghanis, Russians & Turks.

[pctech]

Loose lips sink ships, BLAST IT GUYS STOP POSTING THIS KIND OF INFORMATION! I ASK THAT THE MODERATOR PULL THIS THREAD ON GROUNDS OF NATIONAL SECURITY!!!!!!

[TomGuy]

Exactly.

And al-Qaeda is not a 'nation' nor do they represent a 'nation'. They are no different than pirates on the high seas. A comparable maritime law should apply to them---but the UN is too busy counting the cash from Saddam to bother with outlawing terrorism and terrorists.

[Holicheese]

I believe that they are required to have a canteen available to buy sundrey items like pepsi and shaving cream.
The GC was brought about because the majority of soldiers were draftees! They were just caught in the whirl wind or war.

[5Madman2]

After reading the sob story here, I'm having a real hard time to get my "give a Sh&t" meter to move on these poor misunderstood freedom fighters plight.

Oh, I'm sorry, that didn't sound real sincere did it, I hope I didn't upset any of the human rights people
