You know I think you've just given laser his career choice. He's qualified to be a politician with those traits.

You assume he WANTED an intelligent discussion. I saw a troll with some really bad stink bait.

Yea no big deal after all.. I mean who wouldn't want to spend 2 or 3 years waiting to be found innocent in such a great tropical location as Cuba. I mean hell it's like a free vacation isn't it?

I bet your tune would change if it was you sitting there for two years. Hell I bet you would even get all pissy if you had to sit in a normal nice federal prison waiting for two years with no hope of trial in the near future.

I mean I suppose maybe you would understand if 2 or 3 years were taken away from your life and you were given no chance to prove your innocence nor given the reason you were being held.  Hell it's just two or three years right? After all gotta support a war on a name right? Terrorist.. I mean they could be anyone hell they might live next door to yea no one is safe..

If you want to state your position, that's fine but please do not presume to express ideas that you think are mine.
Forgive me for taking so long to respond, I work a crazy schedule. As far as putting words in your mouth, I didn't realise I had. I was asking a question that you have'nt answered yet. Could it be that this is a case of trying to shoot the messenger than admit Powell is right? I sincerely hope that it's not.

Well, I could also look at the facts that I was not captured in a war zone, and not captured with weapons without a "cause".  I might then think my imprisonment was a bit much, but then again, I would be talking to Allah now wouldn't I.

You neglect two main facts:

1.  I am not an enemy combatant fighting in Afganistan or Iraq.

2.  I am not an outsider "supposedly traveling the lands" while in a war zone and I am also not armed in said area like most were.

So... How would I find myself in a "normal nice federal prison" if I am not breaking the law?  Hmm, maybe I find myself walking to the gun range here in Colorado carrying an Ak and I am labeled an enemy combatant... likely not though.  As far as I am concerned, I know I have done my part to help the war against terrorism, and I can give many references at 1st SOGt that will verify it.

Again, I say shoot the bastards.  They are enemies of our country in a time of war.  Our troops receive no quarter, why should they.

Yea typically when you start dropping bombs on a country and invade it.. That typically makes it a war zone.
