This was the last thing I expected to read in regards to McCain. I must say I am pleasantly surprised...

Yup. And just wait till the lawyers start to subpoena the troops or CIA operatives who captured them, and allege torture, etc., to make 'evidence' inadmissable, blah, blah, blah.
Not to mention the fact that many of the attorneys will pass messages back and forth between the captives and their terrorist pals.

He’s right.
It should have been a ship in the middle of the ocean. The ship shouldn’t even be registered in the US.
Terrorists arrive, are rigorously interrogated, and depart through the garbage chute. When the war is over, evacuate the crew and scuttle the ship.

McCain has always wanted the Gitmo prisoners cases processed ASAP and then Gitmo closed ASAP.

"This was the last thing I expected to read in regards to McCain. I must say I am pleasantly surprised..." McCain has always wanted the Gitmo prisoners cases processed ASAP and then Gitmo closed ASAP. McCain's beef with Gitmo was that the processing of the cases has been stalled and going nowhere.

I have never said a nice thing about Obama - he is just as bad as McCain. McCain however has the potential to totally destroy what is left of the conservatives and constitution in our society. So you goin to the LaRaza convention to see your hero?

It seems quite obvious to me that DU has infiltrated FR with McCain supporters. Only explanation I can think of.

Regardless whence came the decision to speak out, McCain is now on the record condemning this ruling in the strongest possible terms. To a point I agree. The problem is, John has backed enough crapola policy, to have made this call a natural. Now he objects. What the hell? To call it one of the worst decisions in the history of the Republic is very strong stuff. Sure it is, but it raises as many questions as it seems to address. I doubt any handler would have advised him to use such impolitic, unvarnished language.
But I am glad he did. Okay, so am I. It will cause some folks to sit up and take notice. What they won't be as likely to notice is John's support for closing Gitmo, granting terrorists Geneva Convention status, and making it against U.S. policy to use water-boarding.
John is the terrorist's best friend on three out of four issues. Now, lets pat the guy on the back and reminisce about what a swell guy he is.
I don't believe this a.h. for a moment.

This will be one of the best campaign issues for the GOP this year.
I am certain the vast majority of the VOTING public sees this ruling as antithema to their existential aspirations.

I knew that the McCain haters would be unwilling and incapable of believing and understanding this.

Based on the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, you are correct.
Go to this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2030632/posts
Our troops are now FOREVER chargeable as civilians if some prosecutor doesn’t like any of their actions as soldiers.
Had John Kerry become president, he could have charged Petraeus for deaths on the battlefield of ENEMY combatants IF he simply disagreed with planning or decision-making.
It’s a terrible time to be a combat soldier.
A good time to be a terrorist, though. You get 4 squares, reading material, entertainment, your own personal lawyer, and now your own personal judge.
We are insane.

The ultimate question is this. How long does it take for the Democrat Socialist Leftist goals for this nation to be achieved, when our side contiues to win elections and implement 25-40% of their goals each term?
If we won’t take a stand, we stand for nothing. And this election makes that more clear than ever before. We are NOT moving to the right in this nation. Democrat and RINO administrations will never achieve this.
So what do we do? Vote in a new RINO arguably far worse than the last?
Not no, but hell fricken no! We either take a stand and demand the Republican party get back to basics, or we continue to be a part of the problem, a problem that is destroying our nation.

Is this the same John McCain who wants Gitmo closed? Because this ruling is going to accomplish that. It sure will. By still having GTMO open, we are now stuck with these detaineees with "Constitutional rights".
When you evaluate the value of a military asset, you must do so dispassionately. So, what purpose did GTMO serve?
GTMO allowed detainees to be in the glare of the liberal media that painted them as poor little victims. Although captured, the detainees were force multiplier for America's enemies by helping turn public opinion against the entire war effort.
GTMO was doing much more harm than good to the war effort.
Today, truck-loads of terrorists are being captured in Iraq but they are not turning up at GTMO.
Where are they being kept?
Who knows exactly where but, what is certain, is that they are not being kept in a three ring media circus that furthers the enemy's propaganda war.

The anti-McCain crowd has answers for everything.
To: sasafras
I wish you and others would stop regurgitating this stale propaganda that is being promulgated by the DNC, or might as well be if it isn't. "Let them think it will bring the country back to conservatism. Yeah, that's the ticket. The conservatives stay home and we win."
In truth, we will never recover. Once people have new entitlements and have entered the programs and are benefitting materially from them, they will never want to go back.
