Okay, summary trial with immediate execution as per teh Geneva conventions.

I wonder what that idiot would say then.

[matthew fuller]

We should definately close Gitmo- the reporters know about it. Bury the prisoners at sea.

UN resolution on death penalty

A UN resolution calling for a worldwide moratorium on executions has been co-sponsored by 76 countries, one more than in 2003 and the highest number ever. Resolution 2004/67 was adopted by the UN Commission on Human Rights on 21 April.

The resolution, backed by the European Union (EU), was sponsored by all EU countries and by many others from different parts of the world, including Iraq, Kiribati, Samoa and the Solomon Islands for the first time.

The text of the resolution is available on the website of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at http://www.unhchr.ch

Amen! I wonder if this do-gooder, half-bright, has been into the detention camps of the Taliban or Al Quida to compare?

The UN is part and parcel with the enemy and they should not only be asked to leave these shores, they should be drummed out, and run out on a rail.

More bad news about the un.

LOST comes up for senate ratification on Wednesday.

[advertising guy]

didn’t the U.N. do a commercial saying...HEAR ME NOW ?

and only one tree from the forest responded ?

[Tzimisce]

The UN has no jurisdiction over us - have a nice day.

[Lancey Howard]

Get the US out of the UN. What a freakin disgrace.

[NormsRevenge]

we’ll see how many voting on that abomination still know what sovereignty is.

Their fate will be sealed if they vote to ratify it. We only need 34 patriot American senators to stop it....this time. It's like the amnesty bill that keeps coming back again and again.

[NormsRevenge]

agreed.

It has become a great embarassment, an ineffectual monstrosity of a bureaucratic disaster.

Nice job the UN did defending the 300,000 victims in Saddam Hussein's mass graves.

And the 800,000 butchered in Rwanda in 1994.

And Sudan.

And I see how tough on China the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights has been--

Chinese police by the tens jump on old Falun Gong women meditating in some park and burn the crap out of them with their Ronco electric batons--

Hey, but at least the Chinese Peoples Police don't put panties on those women's heads. . . . .

Yes, I demand early release for all Guantanamo detainees. . . .

Ten thousand feet from the ramp of a few C-130s.

Over Natanz. . .

With the new fall line of bomb vests. . . .

This should be solved easily and efficiently. Inform the POWs at Gitmo that they will be transported back to the countries where they were captured, Iraq or Afghanistan, and be turned over to the prevailing governments there for adjudication.

To be fair, we should allow them to vote on this action with a show of hands.

Anyone?

Anyone?

[DoughtyOne]

I couldn't agree more.

[Never2baCrat]

Mr Scheinin, gfy!

[DoughtyOne]

I can’t Gitmo, satisfaction...

I can’t Gitmo, satisfaction...

And I try, and I try, I can’t Gitmo, no no no...

I can’t Gitmo, no no no...

When I’m drivin’ down the street...
and the guy comes on the radio...
to tell us how to treat our terrorists...

I can’t get no, no no no...
I can’t get no, no no no...

I just tell that man right where to go...

And I get some, yes yes yes...
And I get some, yes yes yes...

SATISFACTION!!!
