Cubicle bound. What's he saying?
Shalom.
He looks very angry....
We have a right under the rules of War and an obligation to keep these criminals from returning to society.

Don't confuse anger with resolve....
Those at Guantanmo aren't common criminals or innocent bystanders accidentally swept up. They are bombers, murderers. They are a direct threat to our nation.
How do the 9/11 families look?
IT is important that these people be held secretly and questioned in secret.
Fixed it.
Shalom.
Our security depends on getting intelligence. To win the war on terror we must be able to detain and question terrorists.
Working with our allies we've captured thousands of terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere. These are enemy combattants who are waging war on our nation. We have an obligation to the American people to detain these enemies and stop them from waging war.
They are generally questioned by our military personel and if we determine they don't pose a continuing threat or have intel value, we turn them over to the local law enforcement.
In some cases we determine people pose a significant threat or have intelligence we need to prevent new attacks. Many are AQ operatives or Taliban and withhold info that oculd save American lives. In those cases, we've moved them to an environment where they can be questioned secretly.
Some individuals are taken to Guantanamo. The people held at Guantanamo aren't common criminals or innocent bystanders. We have a process in place tomake sure that peole who are there belong there.
People include bomb makers, etc. They are in our custody so they can't murder our people.
One detainee said "I'll never forget your face and I'll kill you and your brother, mother and sisters."
In addition, small numbers of operatives have been held and questioned outside the US in a separate program operated by the CIA. This group includes people who are key architects in the 9/11 and USS Cole and Embassy bombings.
so where's this big announcement Tony Snow promised us? Desk bound, so i have no idea what Bush is saying other than what you guys are posting.
It doesn't get any more plain spoken or simple than that, democrats.
Can't FoX turn off that blasted streaming line at the bottome during a live broadcast? Jeez, that is ANNOYING!
Righteous anger
Thanks neighbor, but I just can't pick it up at the office. Thank God for FR!
Not common criminals....amazing that he has to point that out! Hope McLame is paying attention. He and Lindsay.
How do the 9/11 families look?
