Oh, and Skip, Timothy McVeigh was successfully convicted of bombing the Murrah Office Building.

The vast majority of Gitmo detainees have not been convicted of anything.

But you're saying that Timothy McVeigh should get more rights than them???

Please correct me if that is not what you are saying.

Skip, Timothy McVeigh, bomber of the Murrah Office Building in Oklahoma City, was given a lawyer.

He was also given a day in court.

He was a terrorist who killed 168 people in the deadliest act of terrorism within the United States prior to 9-11.

Even top Nazis were given…

Skipthesong - "Do you know how many funerals I've attended?"

As I said - Try putting yourself in the position of an ordinary Afghan for a moment.

Do you know how many funerals they have attended duw to unrest and violence caused by the U.S. occupation of their country???

Skipthesong - "I'll be honest, I have no idea what the Geneva Convention says entirely,"

That explains a lot....

FYI: The Geneva Conventions apply at times of war and armed conflict to governments who have ratified its terms.

All 194 of them (that's nearly the entire planet, including America).

Skipthesong - "I really like how Aday and Sushi think we all should just roll over, condemn ourselves because a bunch of enemies don't like the hot weather of Cuba."

I think what you are saying is that America should just throw out the rule of law. That's been tried,…

adaydream - "Occupation is what you call it."

Repeat 10 times for all those who can't understand why U.S. soldiers have been attacked in Afghanistan and who think the problem is all due to crazy locals and 'insurgents.'

A real man. Real strength. Real guts.

Good on Kevin Rudd.

Honestly, it's pretty amazing to see a male national leader do something like this.

Former PM John Howard just didn't have it in him to step up and apologize to the Aborigines for similar mistreatment.

Yes, you can say…

Skipthesong - "And there is a great many who would blow a bunch of people up to further their agenda, and you have instead of criticism found fault in those killed."

The point is that not everyone - in fact, I would guesstimate it is the minority - in Gitmo…

SuperLib - what is false about the fact that the vast majority of Gitmo inmates have not been charged with a crime?

It's been 8 years now. This situation would not stand in any country that cares to call itself a democracy, but a certain segment of Americans have come…

The American Right are becoming increasingly frustrated at their president who continues to do things that benefit America and its standing in the world.

It's such a shock...... :-)
