this guy didn't deserve it. what say you, Spurstalk?
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/op...=2&ref=opinionON Wednesday, America’s detention camp at Guantánamo Bay will have been open for 10 years. For seven of them, I was held there without explanation or charge. During that time my daughters grew up without me. They were toddlers when I was imprisoned, and were never allowed to visit or speak to me by phone. Most of their letters were returned as “undeliverable,” and the few that I received were so thoroughly and thoughtlessly censored that their messages of love and support were lost.
Some American politicians say that people at Guantánamo are terrorists, but I have never been a terrorist. Had I been brought before a court when I was seized, my children’s lives would not have been torn apart, and my family would not have been thrown into poverty. It was only after the United States Supreme Court ordered the government to defend its actions before a federal judge that I was finally able to clear my name and be with them again.

Gitmo is just another pile of Repug/MIC passed onto the Barry, who let himself be intimidated by the Repug bas s into keeping it open and occupied.
that's functionally not much different than agreeing
Terrible. Thanks for posting.
Unfortunately, there's much more important topics to discuss, like the quality of dishwasher detergent...
I never heard that the first ten times I posted about Boumedienne. Thanks for replying.
nobody else has a godammed thing to say, apparently
even though the judge ruled there was not sufficient evidence for the original detention
It's not that.
You and others are using this as an attack on just one aspect of that happens. Injustice is not acceptable, but it happens all the time. even in the court systems, people wrongly convicted.
happens.
eat and die, basically
did you read the OP?
and what others? surely you don't count boutons?
I'd just as loud and just as long if Obama did it.
and now that I mention it, he is still doing it. There is still a Gitmo.
promises, promises
Yes, but you are only ing about it because it is a media driven news item. What about all the cases of people in our own justice system that get the wrong verdict? How do we know who does and doesn't get the right outcome? How do we know Lakhdar really wasn't guilty, but those with the evidence chose not to release it?
I prefer not to take a solid stance on these cases because there are too many "what ifs."
This is a forum for media driven tales about current events. Politics.
o?
you know, headlines. you've made thousands of them. here on Spurstalk.
you're the reigning Poster of the Year, in case you forgot
LOL...
I just don't see this as a political issue, but rather mistakes made by the people who placed him there. I'm not concerning myself over this one. Again, I will say it's not the policies made that I fear as much as the corrupt people who control the buttons. I see no used in bringing this up without discussing solutions. A start might be to hold the people accountable that were unable to show cause to keep him there when it was demanded by the courts.
I don't have a problem with Gitmo. However, like any tool, corrupt people in power will abuse it.
We're accustom to accepting Collateral Damage, which one might otherwise suspect flies in the face of the basic principles of our existence as Americans, if one weren't so busy justifying said Collateral Damage.
Immediately posting this, I realized WE HAVE CROWNED A NEW MISS AMERICA!!! I don't have time to think about these kinds of things anymore.
what the coalition failed was to defining what is a terrorists...
they just chucked anyone fightin against us as a terrorists, when we dont even know if they are freedom fighters without any association with the terrorists groups...but whatever rocks ur boat since the US is footing the bill puttin these clowns in detention camps...
Pics or it didn't happen, tbh...
(and now we've officially derailed this thread)
LOL home of the free.
Happens all the time. I'm ok with that.
