"If hooking up a terrorist's scrotum to a car's battery cables will save one American GI's life..."

I find this statement truly predjudiced. It should read:

"If hooking up a terrorist's scrotum to a car's battery cables will save one American's life..."

Free trips to exotic locales at government expense and they are complaining. Tsk, tsk.

This country seems to be wearing its Levis inside out. We defend terrorists' rights not to be tortured for information and punish a kid who'd write this same thing in a school paper. By definition, a terrorist has no individual rights. By definition, an American has the inalienable right to free speech. Now back to regular programming...

My point is that we have yet to publicly and clearly and repetitively differentiated between Geneva-covered combatants and terrorists up front.

The administration has made that difference clear numerous times. In any event, it is a distinction with little practical difference. POWs have no legal right to counsel to determine their status and terrorists aren't supposed to be tortured or summarily executed.

I suppose it would be helpful if the media ever bothered to inform itself about the topics they report, but that isn't in the administration's control.

Provided that the body parts are removed from a terrorist prior to boiling, I don't see what the big deal is.

Am I missing something? So what? Big Deal! The CIA turned these guys over to people who knew how to deal with them. And The New Yorker thinks this is a problem. Oh, that's right, they also thought making somebody where women's panties was tortunre to.

Are we becoming a nation of wimps or what?

I hope so. If it's obvious to ME what the bill is intended to do I would think the R's would see it.

Let's see now, the people being shot at, (at the scene) and catch the culprits in the act, are sending them off to who-knows-where, without any evidence?

And, those who sit in the safety and comfort provided by same, somehow know (in absentia) that the opposite is true?

It's close, but arrogance triumphs over the lack of common sense here.

What is being reported is NOT BATTLEFIELD related captures but the kidnapping of citizens off the street IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. People who may have the same name as some "wanted" suspect or simply have a name that some tortured individual gave his torturer to stop the abuse. They are literally kidnapped on their way to work or shopping etc. and then spirited off to be tortured in another nation without any intervening legal niceties to inquire if they are even the person who was being sought. Like the Salem witchhunters, mere accusal is sufficient.

People who defend and justify a system of punishing and torturing people based on no more evidence than their simply being accused by someone, somewhere of some wrongdoing had better be careful what they wish for. They may find actually living under such a system once it is fully implemented to be much less enjoyable than they anticipated. But then, there are unteachable knuckle-draggers everywhere who only learn by their mistakes.

"What is being reported is NOT BATTLEFIELD related captures but the kidnapping of citizens off the street IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD."

So you claim now, but in the article it says this: "Abductees are effectively classified as "illegal enemy combatants," by the US government, which is how it also classifies the estimated 550 'war on terror' detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."

Please support your claim that innocent people are being kidnapped.
