Is that along with "the suspect shot himself 6 times in the back of the head. Apparently, he had a real 'death grip' on the pistol"?

[Gondring]

And MANY of the detained have been innocents--but that's to be expected when we give out bounties to get suspects and tribesmen can make cash at the same time that they remove rivals by fingering them.

Judges are becoming too power drunk these days...

(IMO) Sometimes a legalized lynching is just what's called for.

[yarddog]

And MANY of the detained have been innocents

That is pure nonsense. I doubt if more than a handfull if any are innocent. We don't operate that way.

[jec41]

Turn them all loose in Washington DC. That way they can be close to their supporters and brother insurgents.

He is a she.

Still works. I'm sure the terrorist detainees will treat her with all the respect they afford women under TROP.

[Gondring]

Okay...so call the Administration liars.

[yarddog]

If the administration said that, then they are liars. If not then you are.

[VaGunGuy]

If they were in fact taken while under arms, they are not innocent, period. In the case at hand, involving the Australian Taliban, he was taken under arms, not even the defense argues that he wasn't.

[unixfox]

The courts can't make up wipe their minds behinds.

[yarddog]

To be clear we are talking about the terrorists in Guantanamo, not every single Iraqi held briefly and questioned then let go.

[La Enchiladita]

I wonder how she would like wearing a burka and eaiting on these guys hand and foot.

[La Enchiladita]

o my gosh.

I meant "waiting on these guys.."

I think I'll sign off for the night.

[Gondring]

Well, the Army did...see the Ryder report.

[Gondring]

If they were in fact taken while under arms, they are not innocent, period.

...implying that if they weren't under arms, they were innocent?

[GraniteStateConservative]

The tribunals aren't as concerned with civil liberties as the Nazi trials.

[DugwayDuke]

"But my point was that that the trials are really going to be blocked - it's just that they don't reflect well on the U.S. done this way. The trials need to be more like the Nuremburg trials and less like a secret tribunal."

Uh, the Nuremburg trials were tribunals.

Perhaps the one difference is that the war was over and there was no need to keep much, if any, information secret. Not exactly the same situation today, don't you aggee?
