You make things up.
I never said I was giving up my rights nor taking away anyone else’s rights.
Foreign combatants never have had constitutional rights and shouldn’t.
It’s as simple as that.
This has nothing to do with Haditha which as sad as the case is, it is going through the system and the results so far seem good.
The same left wing looneys behind Haditha are behind giving constitutional rights to foreign combatants. They’re also behind stopping surveilance and information gathering techniques.
In short they are against everything needed to fight this war and you are on their side.
It’s really quite simple, either you are for the US or you are against the US.
All your talk and strawman garbage means nothing but confusion.
Actually the left is another front in the war and as such treasonous.
At some point you have to make a decision as to which side you are on.
How do you know they are foreign combatants, until you hold a hearing on the record where the other guy gets to state his case? It isn't hard. When you surrender the right for a detainee to demonstrate that he is not an enemy combatant, then you surrender your own right to demonstrate the same. It is as simple as that. You claim well it cannot happen to me because I am a US citizen. Without habeas rights you have no f'in right to prove that you are a US citizen. It is that simple.
The same left wing looneys behind Haditha
Left wing looneys did not prefer charges against the Haditha marines. Very senior military commanders advised by senior JAG officers did. It is that simple. Did civilian officals weigh in because they didn't like bad press? Of course, and that is the problem. It is a big problem for you, because the civilian officials who did this are the same folks in this administration you are trying to defend.
You can't have it both ways.
