Gitmo Suspects ???

---

Critics — human-rights groups and Democrats communists and socialist DemocRats— have long accused the administration of unjustly detaining suspects at Guantanamo. Amnesty International recently compared it to Soviet-era gulags and some Republicans have questioned whether it should remain open.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (news, bio, voting record) of Vermont, the Judiciary Committee's senior Democrat, called the detention center "an international embarrassment to our nation, to our ideals and it remains a festering threat to our security." He added: "This policy on detainees is clearly not working."

So renounce your citizenship and move to slobovia , Senator. You can fight along side the suspects for their freedom.

Do the Dems forget that Al Quedfa declared War on the US? Hold them until Al Queda surrenders or ceases to exist.

They have the right to a speedy firing squad.

That's it.

*****Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., later asked for a timetable. "If there is no definition as to when the conflict ends, that means forever, forever, forever these folks get held at Guantanamo Bay," he said.******

And those 3000 American's killed on 9/11 are also dead forever,forever,forever.

To the critics who are appalled that we made Al Queda terrorists,
( including Osama's body guard and the 20th hijacker) spend the night in non air conditioned rooms,
I have one question-
" How hot was it at the WTC before it collapsed ? "
Maybe Joe Biden and Dick Durbin can answer that one.

Fwd:
Under Islamic law, non-Muslims are deemed unfit to touch the Quran. That much is generally known. What is not usually considered is the reason: According to the Islamic law, we are unclean.

The term is "najis." On the multilingual Web site of the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani, the leading Iraqi Shi'ite cleric, there is a catalogue of Islamic laws. This includes a list of "najis things." There are 10, beginning with an assortment of excretions and body fluids--obvious stuff that really shouldn't need special mention. On the "najis" list with urine, feces, etc., are the pig, the dog and the "kafir." That means the Christian, the Jew, the unbeliever in Islam--and, chances are, the Gitmo guard.

In effect, then, with its official policy of clean gloves and detainee towels, the United States military is promoting, enabling and accepting the Islamic concept of najis--the unclean infidel--a barbarous notion that has helped fuel the bloodlust of jihad and the non-Muslim subjugation of dhimmitude. Our soldiers are many things: self-sacrificing, bold, loyal and true. They are not unclean.

Is this political correctness run amok? Not exactly. It's something else again, a new threat from within that needs vigilant redress. P.C. is about victimology, the elevation of perceived victim groups to the canonical pantheon. The Gitmo rules are more blatantly about surrender, a voluntary self-extinguishment, a spreading condition of denial of what is right and worth standing for. Not what you expect from the United States Southern Command.

Meet a new word: FRANC-TIREUR is an informal term for an armed fighter who, if captured, is not entitled to prisoner of war status. This classification could apply as of late 2004 to many persons being held at Camp X-ray. The term franc-tireur is from the French for "free shooter". During the wars of the French Revolution, a franc-tireur was a member of a corps of light infantry organized separately from the regular army. Another notable appearance of franc-tireurs was after the Franco-Prussian War when French irregulars, called franc-tireurs, waged a guerilla war against German soldiers in occupied France. The Spanish word francotirador, meaning sniper, is derived from the word franc-tireur. Le Franc-Tireur was the name of an underground resistance newspaper in France during the Second World War. (This military article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it (http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Franc-tireur&action=edit). **** Even in WWII, anybody not dressed properly could be shot on the spot.

"It's a genuine crazy quilt to try to figure out where the due process rights lie," said Specter, R-Pa.

NO it's not. They have no due process, they are the equivalent to spies and mercenaries in WWII, combatants without a country. They should be without a Koran, in a 4 x 6 open barbed wire enclosed fence with the same thing that our soldiers eat. If they starve, they starve. If they won't drink, they die. I don't care.
