after all it was a chaotic war-zone

-- where people do things like throwing grenades at the enemy. So how come he's being charged with murder and terrorism? If they want to treat him as an adult, why isn't he being treated like a regular prisoner of war, which is…

It seems Mr Nakamura had been taking his moustache with him on his delivery rounds for some fourteen years before his clever bosses decided that a moustache hinders proper letter and parcel delivery. I think Mr. Nakamura's moustache's length of service trumps his bosses' new grooming regulations.

Speaking of long-serving…

That "measly" grenade took the life of a brave soldier who was fighting for your right to say that kid should be forgiven.

Was he as brave as the brave soldier who shot a blind and bleeding teenager twice, in the back?

If the situation had been reversed you'd be…

The kid was shot twice in the back by one of Uncle Sam's boys after 4 hours of being bombarded by rocket fired grenades, rifle-fire, helicopter cannon, rocket fire and 82 bombs all topped off with a piece of shrapnel in the eye. Maybe he can be allowed one measly…

Everyone knows you can't deliver letters properly if you have a moustache. (rolls eyes)

If someone wants 1 billion yen worth of textile and crap, they should have the right to have it.

And if someone wants to say it's a crying waste, they should have the right to say it.

Shouldn't they?

The wiki entry (which is not 'his own websight', Alinsky4prez) is a pretty horrific read.

After using rocket-propelled grenades, rifle-fire, helicopter cannon, rocket fire and 82 bombs, the Americans went in and one of them* saw Khadr crouched on his knees facing away from the action and wounded by shrapnel…

She was found at 6:40pm. Most of the other guests would still be at dinner, and the baths would be pretty empty. She may even have chosen a slack time so that having the baby with her wouldn't inconvenience other bathers.

All this 18 year old crap is something recent. When my father's parents first went to the US, they were both 13 and 14 and working 12 or more hours a day to feed themselves, married by the time she was 16 and he 17 and then went fought wars…
