This is sick.

Also the reason I will not forgive GWB for failing to demand a formal written Declaration Of War against the State Dept. "Designated Terrorists" list including al Qaeda and many other Muslim terrorists. There was absolutely no reason he couldn't have done that (and I have been saying this since the 10/11/2001 "War Powers Resolution" that GWB got from Congress.

Consequently here's the mess he left as the result of that monumental failing (not to mention that Kalid Sheik Mohammad might go free):

(from above article)

"Many of them were captured by the military and were subjected to interrogation techniques which might meet Geneva Convention standards but will not hold up in civilian court."

[and]

"Detainees would have the same rights as any criminal defendant, including the ability to represent themselves and be released if found not guilty. "

So you see, GWB caused 9/11 to become a "police action" after all.

Bastard.

I agree.

In a recent executive order, President Obama vowed to close the facility within a year. Although the administration has not ruled out other possibilities for prosecuting the approximately 245 detainees

In my opinion, Oboma is doing everything he can to protect his Muslim brothers. One look at the economy today and one would think Oboma is trying to finish the job his Muslim brothers failed to do on 9/11.

I understand what you are saying but I really don't think that you can blame Bush for hussein being a muzzie and aiding and abetting his brother muzzies. I doubt Bush ever dreamed that America would actually elect an al qaeda sympathizer to the Office of President... but 52.4% of American knuckle draggers did.

“But Marri says he was subjected to painful stress positions, extreme sensory deprivation and violent threats and was denied access to lawyers when he was held in a military brig in South Carolina.”

And the liberal judges appointed by Barack Obama will no doubt consider those claims to be a valid defense.

I can see the logic of this. We should have taken all those German, Italian, and Japanese prisoners we captured during World War II and given them immediate and free access to U.S. Federal courts. They should have been at least as entitled to these rights as terrorist gangs. Don’t we owe them or their families reparations?
