Colin Powell Joins AlQueda

[rpm]

At least that's what I expect to hear from the Bushboiz. The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of State and possibly the most respected (well at least he was before Bush made him dance like a monkey at the UN) unofficial voice of The United States of America says it's time to close Gitmo, "it's causing us far more damage than any good we get from it".

Oh the terrorist lovin', Amerihating horror...

Sure, close the detention center there.

After you take everyone of those terrorists outside and shoot them in the base of the skull.

Just out of curiousity, Bodhi, do you feel confident that every single person being detained there is a fighter?  

I have my doubts, considering that the US paid cash bounties for people described as insurrectionists when they were turned in.  For some of the people there, the US was not involved in determining their initial status, and there may have been conflicts of interest that led to people being rounded up and turned in whether or not they were actually combatants.

The people detained by the US military are one thing, and I know and trust that the best effort would be made to only rope the bad guys, but the other folks...  a doubt is reasonable and prudent.

Their continued imprisonment there, he said, has "shaken the belief that the world had in America's justice system."

Most americans belief in our system of justice was shaken to the core when OJ simpson was aquitted.  Gitmo has restored much of that belief in a "No BS system of justice".  Hang em high.  

I really believe Powell has lost so much credibility that his opinions are, unfortunately, almost without value.

Maybe among the thirty-percenters.  To the rest of the planet it just looks 1939 all over again.

Senator Joe Lieberman (recommends preperation for "aggressive military action" that may be necessary in Iran)  Bloodthirsty Satan

At least that's what I expect to hear from the liberal "Hate America First" crew - at least until after the '08 election, anyway...

At it's very worst the current mire is misguided, misjudged, and misunderstood.  But enough to spook me from time to time.

At it's very best, no.

What's missing the the whole living space thing and a few other parts.  Which is my beef with "globalization."    Which at its worst and by any other name is living space.

Also, just goes to show looking at some of the posts on this thread that madness knows no borders.

Interesting attitude considering our entire justice system's back bone is based on a principle of innocent until proven guilty.

Maybe you should look up how many of those there terrorist have released after being held captive for 2 and 3 years after they figure out the guys were innocent.

Personally I really do not give one rats butt about the welfare of any of those in detention at Guantanamo.  I wish we would surmarily execute every last one of the bastards.  Our troops receive no quarter when they are captured, and we need to do the same.  

Once all intelligence value is gained from them, a bullet to the base of their terrorist skulls while they are dropped into a grave of pig guts and blood would be just fine by me.
