One of the reasons the trial needed to take place at Gitmo was to make that holding facility constitutional. Article 3 section 2.

Yes I was aware of that tragic event but what I meant was, such actions would become much more frequent.

They do their utmost to kill, torture, abuse and publicize those they capture. That won't change whether or not we treat them like the scum they are.
Then again - if I had my way, it wouldn't be a question of worrying about our folks, because the conflict would be prosecuted entirely differenlty.

I could understand the merits of it if you were making these proposals as an effort to stop them acting like scum. But just becoming scum yourself isn't a very great objective to aim for. |

Judith and David Tebbutt - he was murdered and she was kept in captivity for 7 months - learning weeks after the start that her husband had been killed.
Or would you rather look at Scott and Jean Adams, Phyllis Macay and Bob Riggle? Perhaps you'd rather consider the case of Taliban commander Siraj Haqqani - who would rape any pretty young girl who passed a screening - on camera. Oh - and when found out - he did what any good, pious Muslim would do - he started killing all the witnesses. That work for abuse and killing? Publicize? Warren Weinstein ring a bell? After all - the terms set to release him are a known non-starter for all involved - so its a matter of time before he is dead as well.... Poor man - he is already dead and just his body just hasn't caught on to that fact. Or does he not count becase he is jewish? How about Daniela Widmer and David Och - the swiss couple who had to plead for their lives? Luckily, they were able to survive. How often does that happen? And if you want to make it about American Military folks.... Bowe Robert Bergahl To date - he has been shown in 5 seperate videos that I know of. Held in captivity for 3 years now......If he is still alive. Given the reports that he tried to escape and was "recaptured" and has since not been seen, his survival is highly questionable at this point. We have tried to "out-nice" our enemies for over a decade - and it has done nothing good. Providing health care, religious services and texts, soccer fields and all kinds of other things to those who would saw off our heads as we screamed like Pearle did - has not convinced them that they should stop screwing around with us. So after more than a decade of failure, perhaps its time to try another path.....

you are so far out of your depth you couldn't swim to shore with proffesional help. So forget all your empty rubbish and explain how your policy of becoming just as scummy as the murdering bastards can have anything even remotely positive to support it? |

Enola Gay's and Bockscar's crews were not prosecuted nor condemned for the killing of tens (or hundreds) of thousands of civilian (and innocent) victims at Hiroshima or Nagasaki ...

About "price", what was the price for each so "saved" US soldier ? Four Japanese women and five children ?
Seriously, the defendants at Guantanamo Bay consider themselves in war with the United States. I even believe that they are locked up in a military prison and judged by a military tribunal. Maybe because they are prisoners of war ... |

They can consider themselves at war with us - but they don't fall under the geneva convention (they are not a recognized signatory and their own actions violated it) so we can treat them any way we as a nation at war choose. Using them to show the world and their islamic brothers the realities of trying to carry out a war against the US.

The US dept of defence says you are talking rubbish Even president Bush eventually said you are talking rubbish. So it seems your country is pretty set on the matter officially and you are still stuck 6 years behind the game. |
