And all Guantanamo detainees are just like this, right?
Obviously they deserve everything that they're copping, right?
How ridiculous to expect that they might receive the same treatment that any US or UK detainees have received! Obviously they must be much worse! Because they're still there & the others are out! Right?
You know they aren't?
So, does that work both ways? If US Coalition soldiers in Iraq were captured, tortured, transported to Iran and detained without trial for several years by Iranian insurgents, would that same justification hold true for them? The coalition doesn't represent any one country either. So would the rules of the Geneva Conventions provide no protection or authority to dictate treatment of coalition soldiers, including US soldiers?

What??? Our troops/civillians are disemboweled, quartered, & hung on bridges to rot, or drug through nasty dirty streets naked while the natives spit on them. Yeah, I'm real concerned about the insurgents.

Come on, LSM. You can do better than that, surely? :wink:
What sort of response to Butrflynet was that?
Try again.
Well I'm glad you like your own answer, LSM. That's the main thing, I guess.
Hey, I'm not asking you to lie at all. I just would have liked some comprehensive, more detailed responses from you ... you know, more than comments about nappies on heads & disembowelled troops. Something a bit more substantial, I guess ....
I mean, I'd expect you'd have reasons for holding the views that you do. I'm genuinely interested in hearing about them. In much more detail.
But sadly, I must go soon. I have many things to do today, including making an offering for a pre-Christmas get-together tomorrow night.
You know how busy it gets at this time of year, LSM!
