Now you know why Israel is in so much trouble.

It’s “scholars” are self hating Leftists who pervert truth and hence justice, advocating for the enemy while being contemptuous and brutal to their own. And, parenthetically, siding with them and the mutual Arab enemy, which even Ms Rice and “Conservative” Bush are doing (as every president and Secy of Defense has done to date), is what is destroying America and the West.

Joint Chiefs Chairman: Close Guantanamo

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - The chief of the U.S. military said Sunday he favors closing the prison here as soon as possible because he believes negative publicity worldwide about treatment of terrorist suspects has been “pretty damaging” to the image of the United States.

“I’d like to see it shut down,” Adm. Mike Mullen said

Mullen said, “More than anything else it’s been the image - how Gitmo has become around the world, in terms of representing the United States.”

“I believe that from the standpoint of how it reflects on us that it’s been pretty damaging,” Mullen said,

That’s right, Fred. Congress passed DTA and MCA. Bush merely signed them into law, as is the path for all legislation.

And for those who do not understand the concept, here is a refresher course: How a bill becomes a law .

How on earth can it be so bad to merely process these SUSPECTS - that is all they are at this point (SUSPECTS) - so we only punish the convicted ones?

That due process for those deemed enemy combatants (who historically, by precedent, do not have habeas rights) was accommodated for by the passage of DTA and MCA. What makes you think they weren’t able to have due process?

We have a country of laws, and your idiot king does not make laws - that’s Congress’s job.

That’s right, Fred. Congress passed DTA and MCA. Bush merely signed them into law, as is the path for all legislation. The Supreme’s have basically spit on Congressional legislation. And this is Bush’s fault… how?

You really believe the government should be able to take an American citizen off the street and put them away forever? For no reason? With no evidence?

None of the Gitmo detainees are American citizens. Most, if not all, have not set foot inside territorial US. Boumediene v Bush has absolutely nothing to do with American citizens…. located ANYWHERE. So your point is?

You may be able to read, Fred. But it could be your comprehension needs some brushing up. The issue comes down to status… enemy combatant, or alien enjoying US Constitutional right… while incarcerated. The process was in place for determining status (CRSTs), legal recourse for challenging that status in District of Columbia circuit courts (DTA/MCA), and if found not to be an enemy combatant … they could embark on the route of aliens enjoying Constitutional rights.

That clarity of due process is now gone, and all bets are off on how judges will handle cases that flood into federal courts. They’ll have to make it up as they go along since there are NO precedents for this. On what legal basis are they supposed to rule? What feels good?

It’s sad that the US courts have become an adjunct to the DNC party apparatus that it has.

So you are so scared of the due process that you would throw away what America stands for? How on earth can it be so bad to merely process these SUSPECTS - that is all they are at this point (SUSPECTS) - so we only punish the convicted ones? It appears America is stronger, braver, and more patriotic than you will ever be. We have a country of laws, and your idiot king does not make laws - that’s Congress’s job. If you can find someone in your family who can read - and I highly doubt that (go home schooling!) please ask them to read our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Those documents are fo your protection too.

You really believe the government should be able to take an American citizen off the street and put them away forever? For no reason? With no evidence? Please leave America now. She does not need you and those like you.

and some other stuff (interspersed with ads)

Thanks, AF, for that Levin tape. His observations are all too true, and a sad commentary on America today.

It’s sad that the US courts have become an adjunct to the DNC party apparatus that it has.

Sarcasm, AC

I should have been able to recognize that.

Sorry.

I wouldn’t want any of them to be harmed, majority or dissent.”

Sarcasm, AC. I don’t want them dead either. After all, the punishment should fit the crime, and they are just guilty of being incredibly stupid. What that should be punished with, I’m not quite sure, but death is a bit harsh for that, especially since it’s probably an “honest” foolish mistake.

I wouldn’t mind seeing them soil their pants in fear of the cutthroats they’ve enabled, though, if it would change their minds.

You may very well be correct.

Perhaps I was a bit hasty.

yonason,

I wouldn’t want any of them to be harmed, majority or dissent.
