The bastards.
Released Friday afternoon so as to be buried in the weekend news cycle.
Is there anyone who has any doubt about whose side these bastards are on..... and by THESE bastards, I do not mean the ones in Guantanamo!
Every night, President Bush prayed for the families of the men and women killed in the WOT. He prayed for their families... and their souls.
These Obama bastards just pissed on their graves.

How long before John Taliban Walker is freed from prison.
Especially now that his attorney is working under Holder.
Tony West is the Presidents nominee to head the Justice Departments Civil Division. If you want to know how far we are past 9/11, theres your answer: John Walker Lindhs defense attorney is going to work for Justice. Full Article at The Jawa Report;

It provides that individuals who supported al Qaeda or the Taliban are detainable only if the support was substantial. And it does not employ the phrase "enemy combatant." Makes sense, kind of like taking officers and noncoms prisoner, letting enlisted ranks go free to fight again. Hopefully he's replacing "enemy combatant" with "illegal combatant", which is what they are. If they're not combatants in Holder's fairytale world, I haven't a clue how we hold them.

So lets get this straight.
Since we had enough stupid American Voters to get a Socialist elected as President, that means that people that plotted,planned and carried out war combat actions against American soldiers, civilians and interests are now no longer enemy combatants?
I begin to wonder if this Country deserves to survive !

AG Holder also announced that his office is undertaking a thorough review of the use of assault weapons by the military. Under a proposal being drafted; use of military style assault weapons by the military will be banned.
According to an unnamed source close to the process, "We just don't see the need for any soldier to be armed with an assault weapon...especially in a theater where there are by virtue of law no "enemy combatants"." /s

Got you covered on that!!
The scariest part of this is the decision to use international standards in rendering determinations of “enemy” status. Since when do Americans defer to international law for their own security?
This is just a MONUMENTAL abdication of the responsibility to protect not only our national security but our soverignty as a nation!
To: Tucsonican
I hope they (United Socialist States Entity of DC) treat the domestic prisoners of war from the Free States and Autonomous Zones within the former-USA as well as the Moslem Terrorists, but somehow I doubt they will.
To: Tucsonican
So we now call enemy combatants detainees. Holder must feel so much better - you wussy.
To: Tucsonican
“It provides that individuals who supported al Qaeda or the Taliban are detainable only if the support was substantial.”
“....only if the support was substantial.”
This from the same Leftist mindset that justifies such totalitarian compliance perspectives such as gun control with: “...if only it saves one life, it’s worth it....”
So who is going to determine the definition of “substantial”, and perhaps how much the individual detainee’s participation is/was “substantial”?
Another gift to the Trial Lawyers.

To: Tucsonican
lets realize what is at work here...
An enemy combatant is an individual who, under the laws and customs of war, may be detained for the duration of an armed conflict...All of the detainees are unlawful combatants and thus do not as a matter of law receive the protections of the Third Geneva Convention.
Council on Foreign Relations
as long as they were classified as "enemy combatants" they could be held as long as the WOT existed, without a trial, without legal counsel, without the rights given prisoners of war under the Geneva Convention... I smell a Leftist 'Rat behind this change in classification!

So does the soldier that initially detains an insubstantial individual face prosecution for unlawful detention? IMHO the body count will double....who wants to risk a court martial over Obama's pro muzzie ROE.
