Wonder who decided to tell the media where we were taking them and what was happening to them?

The ideal guards and authorized reporters would be people who had lost family members on 9/11.

As POWs, and not in the US, these prisoners are not entitled to the same treatment as prison inmates in the US.

Hey, maybe we should give them the same POW treatment the Japanese and Germans gave our POWs in WW II.

Looks like CBS is covering this topic tonight on 60 Minutes, I think.

This really pisses me off. Complaining about the treatment of evil murdering terrorists that treat women like animals and would've done anything to kill westerners even if it meant losing their own. And these guys pray like 5+ times a day. How does anyone know what is happening in this picture. Are they picking up trash? Praying? Exercises? I don't see anyone getting beat of whipped for not wearing thier burkahs correctly.

We should have left their chainlink enclosures unroofed. Then fly over slow and low with a C-130 and dump out thousands of rabid badgers.

Live on pay-per-view.

Then the fire ants.

And how the hell did the Red Cross and these other busybody fags get to Gitmo in the first place? That's a secure US military facility.

Make those bitches swim to Miami if they want to get home. Call it the "Elian Gonzales Memorial Triathalon Event." A 100 yard dash into the ocean, a 90 mile swim to Miami and a 20 minute beatdown on the beach upon arrival. Who's in??

I know what we should have done. We should have flown them over one of there great worshiping tempels, WE should have parashutted out before hand and set for auto pilot. Let them slam into one of those fance churches that you see them praying to.

Why didnt we just let them freaze in the cold back at Afganistane. Put them in a fence with a top so they coupdnt get out and just left. No food, water or heat. Afganicubes

Yeah, it would be better if the US completed its descent into fascism and just shot them and threw them in the ovens.  Right?

Honestly, why are they flying these people halfway around the world just to imprison them, give them a fake trial, and then execute them?  Is is just a dog & pony show for the American public or what?  

This whole "war" is a sham.  It isn't even a war, it's just bad taste and failed vengeance.  Where's Osama?  Nobody knows.  Are Americans any safer?  Are you kidding?  PATRIOT Act and National ID make us less safe overnight--less safe from our own government, that is.

Wait 'til the concentration camps start up on the continent and American "terrorists" start getting rounded up.

The UN has "warned" us about treatment of these guys.  That should be the "straw that broke the camel's back" and be the impetus to get us out of the UN.

trickshot, you are sounding more and more like a left wing radical.  Kind of sounds like a member of DemocraticUnderground, don't y'all think?  [troll]   As someone asked you, what is your answer.  Sit back and do nothing, as your boy Bill did for 8 years.  It is amazing how much left wing radicals and right wing radicals sound alike, "concentration camps", American "terrorists", etc.  They both espouse the same mindless, paranoid BS.  Oh, I love your classification of X-Ray as a "concentration camp" in an earlier post and now talking about them opening up in the US.  Under your boy Bill, that was a concern, but you need to wake up.  Get a clue.

There was nothing wrong with the way we transported and are keeping the Al-Qaeda prisoners. They should be handled with the  same precaution we give to murderous and suicidal death row inmates.  BUT....

then I hear some calling for torture or murder.

When you hear the comments made by these guys, it makes it a lot easier to understand the dynamics and motivations of those who committed war crimes in WWII!

Just a few facts for consideration:

Most of these detainees are Al Qaeda, not Taliban.  As such, they may or may not be POWs or civilian prisoners (suspected terrorists).  Remember how we handled Manuel Noriega?

Almost all of the prisoners were taken from our Allies (not captured by us) and were selected from thousands of captured personnel after they were debriefed and identified as possessing intelligence of value.

These are for the most part, stone killers, as seen during the prison uprising.  At this point, they are not going to be tortured, or executed.  The time for that was immediately after capture, not after processing.  Some may even be released eventually.

Despite the media's protestations to the contrary these POWs/detainees/suspects are being treated in accordance with international protocols. The media may question this, but I have to really wonder what nation would have or has treated suspected US terrorists/POWs any better than these?  Especially after several thousand of their citizens died in a terrorist act.  These individuals would already be dead in half the nations of the world.

Anyone who is sick at this point, better get some anti-emetics.  You haven't seen anything till you see the whining from the fawning media about the mistreatment dear old misunderstood Jihad Johnny Walker is going to get once he hits US soil.  That boy will be a folk hero to the media and some politicians long after the dead CIA and SF guys are forgotten.  If he had been a redneck mercenary for a right wing dictator, they would be calling for his lynching.

I don't mean to pass judgement on good honest Irishmen, but how did the Brits treat members of the IRA they caught?

If the Brits are that concerned over Al Queda members being treated "inhumanely," they should offer to let them live in Jolly Old.  

If the prisoners were treated humanely, they would renounce terrorism and live in peace - right!

Why did we take prisoners after that prison riot?

Not to cast doubt on the Marine Green technique, but a few rabid badgers would do if you put the prisoners in the showers with them one at a time.  Save on the badger costs and their parachute training.  Rabid feral hogs would send a better message, don't you think?

Or you could just drop them into the Federal Prison system.  I am sure that Mohammed's new cellmate, Bubba would love to meat him and they should be quite popular, for a while.

I forgot the NSN prefix for live animals.  We made up one for Jellyfish (officers who had their spines removed by the CO) and used it as code around the unknowing.

In any case, these guys are probably the worst of the worst, the hardest of the hard core.  The world is a better place having them locked up away from even the general prison population.  I've heard of a few muslim prison conversions - this is the last thing we need, indigenous muslim extremism.

I want to say something here.


I watched footage of a confrence with reporters, Generals and soldiers who fought in Vietnam.  I think it was Westmoreland on the panel.

The question was posed as:  In a battlefield situation, if some of your buddies were being held not far away by your enemy...and you yourself had a captured enemy soldier in your hands....would you torture him to get the info you need to save your life and your brothers life?


The General said No, the soldier said yes.


He was a wounded vet, I don't remember his name.  He talked about the fact that war is hell and about how the life of a fellow soldier is much more inportant than the enemy life.



The life of my fellow citizen is more important to me than that of my enemy.


Thats how I look at it.

There's nothing here that I disagree with. I just say this. It's OUR (the citizens) responsibility as to WHY that soldier is on the battlefield in the first place. We (America) put troops in many countries (to serve what agenda?). If the citizens allow this, then they are complicit in the act. I think my original question is worthy of pondering.
