You missed the whole point.You don't know who is being held or what their charges are.
Tortue isn't necessarily the most effective method of interrogation to strart with. It just the most barbaric.
It goes against the U.S. laws of due process. You know, innocent until proven guilty. You seem to suggest they are guilty by association. Very few of them are even charged with a crime. The information gathered when the detainee is being tortured isn't always reliable either.
Your attitude is what got us involved in Iraq. Too much faith in government. With Bush directing it, it's even worse. He gave the C.I.A. and the military a green light for this type of treatment of detainees labeled as persons of interest.
They should be treated as prisioners of war.They would still be mistreated, but the Red Cross and similiar agencies would have accest to prisioners to to monitor their treatment.
We are losing future bargaining chips in negotiating treaties where human rights are an issue. China is a good example.
What is the trade deficit these days with China?
We Got the b......s!!!I feel relevied!!! Not enough for every american we lost, in my opinion we should get a thousand of them for each one of our soldiers and civilians !!!!! :p What makes America great is not treating people as pictured above.
I won't back down from that opinion. When we lose that, we have nothing.
Torture - 1 a : anguish of body or mind : AGONY b : something that causes
agony or pain
2 : the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to
punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure
Hilas also said he witnessed an Army translator having sex with a boy at
the prison. He said the boy was between 15 and 18 years old. Someone
hung sheets to block the view, but Hilas said he heard the boy's screams
and climbed a door to get a better look. Hilas said he watched the assault
and told investigators that it was documented by a female soldier taking
pictures.
"The kid was hurting very bad," Hilas said.
Was Foley a guest translator that day?
US have the right to defend the world your ancestors build with their hard labour, a country create from nothing...
That wonderful world they called AMERICA, so proud and strong. A great country.
Your brothers and sisters are gone, murdered, your values and belief which give greatness to the United States of America has been stepped on...
It is this the kind of people you are so keen to protect and save?
Not me...I am glad that we got someone that is not blinded by public opinion to do whatever it is necessary...I tell you what, CIA is the best instrument we can ever have to fight our real enemies... WE need some sort of assurance that there is something out there, ready to jump and protect us, not matter at what cost!!! :thumbup:
The difference between those prisoners and americans is that you were pushed to the extreme to deal with extremists.. So bring it on...We are ready when they are!!!
"I therefore beleive that it is my duty to my country to love it, suppor it, respect its flag and defend it from all its enemies...":thumbup:
