Polish engineer beheaded in Pakistan. [347]
It's up to governments to stablize populations.
if you vote, you ought to know how you want the gov to represent you. US has not been dealing with the greater middle east properly. imho.
This is why I question the wisdom of the US going into Iraq.
it was a huge blunder. we should have concentrated on obl and his ilk.
Ok...and which of the ones you refer to were not involved in a terror cell or related activities? If they weren't captured in combat, how do you propose to apply Geneva conventions, (which apply specifically to warfare) at any rate?
i believe in many cases it was simply pure kidnapping by the US.
Not true. Originally, they were simply "terrorist detainees" however uproar from people such as yourself demanding they get rights guaranteed combatants, (such as were respected for captured Iraqi Army )under the Geneva conventions both prior to and after capture...led to the new term. Terrorists are specifically excluded from protection...therefore people did not want a spade called a spade otherwise "no holds barred" is completely within the realm of the allowable.
look it up homesteak. you're WRONG. geneva conventions mandate some kind of court proceedings.. how many gitmo inmates have seen a judge?
shrubbery was trying to avoid having to deal with the conventions man.. thus the newest term. this gets them out of having to follow anything. it escapes american courts.. this is exactly how it's been until now, not the other way around.
Back this up please? or is this just more sensational sounding information you somehow "know"?
google. pretty easy to find who's been sitting in one of those, in PL specifically.
Geneva conventions
geneva conventions don't exclude anyone man.
hen why should we even try?
is this the winning american attitude? we're all screwed if that the way general public think. but since Obama won, i think not.
I think known terrorists should be shot on sight rather than captured,
oh that civil.
You obviously value their comfort over the lives of their victims,
and you just want to go murder randomly? i want the truth not a bunch of BS.
your self important sense that you have the moral high ground will not be bothered when innocent people are butchered in a Baghdad basement,
are you in the pictures from abu ghrabi?
Just because you or some other nutjob thinks, "oooh there's a conspiracy" because you disagree with the findings of the investigation...does not mean there should be another one, nor that there was "shoddy work". "I don't care how much it costs" doesn't sound like someone who is paying for it themselves...If you want to fund one from your private income and have something conclusive that counters the official findings...by all means, submit it to the authorities.
so you are content with being a sheep? there are plenty holes in the 9/11 "investigation" and for the money that was spent i'd think you'd also expect the whole truth and not the crap we got. i am not after a different result.. i just want the WHOLE truth.. not just some stuff that fit into the old president's agenda.
You speak of ignorance, yet you claim knowledge about military tactics, strategy, etc. assuming people go around "bombing willy-nilly". This is a hypocritical statement. The fact is you are ignorant yourself, in this regard, but post as if you somehow "know" what is being done or is not. You point at all the ignorance you assume is in the U.S. ...but it is written all through your own posts. Unless, by "ignorance" are you referring to people who disagree with you? either way I see it, your statements are off the mark.
you seem clueless.. i implore you to educate yourself on this topic. it's sad to see the USA continuing making blunders that unfortunately also adversely effect others.
