Sure. When that happens.

Until then, we'll keep killing terrorists.

I have no truck about killing terrorists, but the witch hunts yeager speaks of, are tantamount to the Salem trials.

As for me being paranoid, yeager, I'm not the one talking about killing people because some guy told another guy that the guy next door heard that some other dude was playin in an online flight simulator and flying WW2 formation bombers into aircraft carriers..

Oh jeebus, a terrorist.....ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRGH

this thread has been proven itslef mostly false by the persons defending it. The subject "how can we imprison people without evidence" just doesnt fit. Clearly if somone is detanined as an "illegal combatent" but must be held as a POW until the end of the conflict they were captured in.....well that spells it. they can be held AS A POW for the duration of this current conflict no matter what they are "classified as" by rumsfeld.

case closed as far as I'm concerned.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your beliefs, "as far as you're concerned" amounts to nothing.

You quoted me like this: "The fact that routine torture of prisoners is under investigation is worrying enough", and asked me where I did get my information from. I answered you by giving you my source, namely Thomas Harrington of the FBI who informed the public about the ongoing investigation into multiple cases of abuse and torture of prisoners being used routinely at Guantanamo, reported by FBI personnel stationed there.

If you still don't get it you're a world-class twit.

Simply PROVE IT. You stated that these ARE facts and they ARE routine based on FBI memos you read. Well what memos did you read brainiac?

Guns, there is no need to dig so deep into FBI files. Just buy any American newspaper (anyone). All of them are routinely reporting that the detainees in question were deprived of sleep and .....so on and so forth.
I don't know about your attitude towards such seemingly minor infraction of human rights, but I know that the most outrageous cases of false self-incriminating confessions during the rule of Comrade Stalin were achieved by the NKVD "investigators" when they TORTURED the suspects by depriving them of sleep. After several days of this torture people simply went crazy or signed any false confession they were given. Some tried to commit suicide because they could not bear this "small" torture anymore.
I wonder who instructs the US military "investigators" in this matter ?

damn, i posted this right before leaving for a cruise through the caribbean. still out there (just north of st. lucien) but im surprised it got this much attention..

i'm just kinda surprised and appalled at how our justice system works. us citizen or not we shouldn't sink to the level of our enemies by imprisoning suspects without any terms of release like that. in my mind it just brings us to the level of those we are fighting.
