Yeah, those decks can be very slippery, can't they?
We should allow them to live in that same great state of euphoria that Terri Schiavo did. The autopsy said she didn't starve to death. She died of euphoria.
Ha!, Biden and Leahy think Gitmo is bad for terrorists. I'm actually looking forward to the day we can incarcerate in perpetuity traitors who happen to be serving in either house of congress, or who are working in the MSM. I'm sure the day is coming. We can't win the war until it does.
Last I heard all these Moozelum terrorists were going to commit Holy Suicide?
Guess they really must be enjoying their stay among the infidels ..but then who wants to go back to snowy winters in A-Stan when you can winter in Gitmo and eyeball the pretty infidel female attendants
Agreed.
Fox showed them playing soccer today in beautiful tropical beaches of cuba. Here in south florida a view like that starts at about $2million.

Hey, if we can hold them in perpetuity, what would be the best way?
Freezing?
Freeze drying?
Cryogenics?
Maybe just as DNA?
Still I think the idea of their organs continuing to live
and save infidel lives as the best option.
It would be difficult for a muslim to contemplate being,
undead.
We're probably closer to having a functional judicial system in Iraq than in Afghanistan, and the ideal solution would be to have those prisoners tried in Iraq and for them to administer the justice.
But I think we need the constitution in place there and a better judiciary in place with complete groundrules. That means keeping the status quo at Gitmo for now.
If we had dealt with these folks the old fashioned way - on the field of battle - there wouldn't be a need for Gitmo in the first place.
But accepting the need for a facility for extracting intelligence from captures combatants who are not covered byt the Geneva COnventions, I'd suggest a top secret facility at an extremely remote location with virtually NO chance of accidental discovery, and there individuals could be treated with all the civility they deserve for as long or short a time as may be required.
Come to think of it, ARE there any Islamic organ donors?
Especially when you've been chumming for sharks for a couple hours...
Are you watching Hardball??
They may be summarily executed. While a trial is generally appropriate, it is not necessary for unlawful combatants whose status as such is obvious. As a practical matter a secret military tribunal holding a hearing which the prisoner(s) neither participate in or are aware of is probably appropriate. The issue determined at the hearing can and should be whether the prisoner(s) are more useful dead than alive. That would satisfy those portions of the Geneva Convention we signed, subject to exceptions noted by the Senate at the time, as opposed to the GC articles we didn't sign.
Then we should wait for an appropriate opportunity to execute them. It need not be a formal hanging. As an example of behavior modification, set it up so that one of them is provoked to do something he shouldn't while other prisoners are watching, such as throwing s*** or urine at a guard. Then shoot him on the spot, while the other prisoners watch. That would certainly have a deterrent effect on similar misconduct. They won't know that we've already decided to kill him.
Interrogation purposes - loudly tell the dude, in the presence of other prisoners, that this is his last chance to talk. Shoot him in front of the other prisoners when he doesn't talk. They won't know that we've already decided to kill him.
Or slit the throats of 5-6 of them, or whatever number is deemed effective, in front of another prisoner we're trying to impress. Some of these guys are really impressed by throat-slitting.
If one of them has a particular fear of drowning, or being eaten by sharks, take him on a boat ride with a bunch of these guys, tie them all up in chains with weights attached, do a phony random number means of determining who dies first but have your guy be last, or in the middle, demand that they talk and start throwing them overboard when they refuse. If your guy talks, he lives. If he doesn't, he walks the plank right there too.
Be cold-blooded about it. Once these guys are no longer useful alive, get some use from their executions. Use those to impress the ones you haven't decided to kill yet.
Yeah, that's what I heard, but that could be just a silly rumor, which cannot be proven in court. =)
What's going on??
If they aren't captured wearing recognized military uniforms, fighting for a recognized beligerent nation, then the Geneva Convention gives them *no* rights. Ever.
They can be shot on sight as spies or sabotuers, legally. Anything less is American charity.
Unfortunately, yes---
It didn't take long for ole Lindsay to become a Hardball favorite, did it...
Chrissy always gets a REpublican that will blame Bush for something...!
Look, they want to be martyrs, we want them to be martyrs. What's the problem?
