"Guantanamo Bay detainees who are returned to Afghanistan may be at risk of torture, ill-treatment and other human right abuses, "

Well then, shouldn't AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL be focusing it's efforts on the abuses by the Afghans and Iranians, and Pakastanis...et al?

Sorry fellows, they did not want them at Gitmo, now they are going to go somewhere else.

Bill Sammons had an interesting take on the whole thing. Well now they will not be getting their glazed chicken and rice.

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

Maybe we should have just shot these guys and put them out of their misery in the first place.

Guantanamo Bay detainees who are returned to Afghanistan may be at risk of torture, ill-treatment and other human right abuses, " the London-based watchdog warned in the statement.

But, but, according to the liberal peaceniks, Sadam loving crowd, Guantanamo is the worst prison in the world. Just ask Ted Kenedy. Isn't he currently demanding that Bush close Guantanamo?

Well, I guess that we are just suppose to be kind and release them back into society to terrorize the world once more.

I guess you should have considered where these people would be housed when you accused the U.S. of abuse at Gitmo.

Do these people EVER think about consequences?

If there was ever any doubt that Pres Bush is dumb and doesn't have a sense of humor. Well, here you go!!!!

Just remember this the next time your liberal friend says he is dumb.

I'll bet is seriously pains AI to have to obliquely admit
that Club Gitmo is a kinder and gentler place.

AI, unfortunately, is a formerly well-intentioned
organization that has been fully hijacked by the left,
and is now just another generic anti-American
anti-liberty tool whose campaigns actually encourage
and reward precisely what they pretend to oppose.

International law and the law of warfare requies that anyone accorded protection under the several conventions be repatriated to their home country after hostilies cease or if they are not proper POWs. The AIM group insisted on treament under the Geneva Accords, thus compliance with them mandates the detainees return as reported. There is no authority or duty for the detaining power to find them a safe haven where they will be treated differently than the country of origin.

How can Gitmo be the Gulag of our time if there's someplace even worse to send them to?

Amnesty folks lied and basically admitted it--the director said on FOX that by saying that they got air time. Lies have consequences, commies, live with the consequences of yours.

Well I thought we were torturing these people. I must be confused Turbin Durbin said our guys were the Nazi torturers.

I figured that the Mossaud would treat them with all the pleasantries that they deserve.
