GITMO detainees to be sent to South Carolina?

[Jhhnn]

How about we move them into your house?

Nice dodge. How about affording them the same rights granted to all criminal defendants under the jurisdiction of this country?

You know- a trial with evidence & witnesses. Just slapping a Terrarist! label on them isn't really much of a substitute other than for gullible authoritarian fringe-whacks.

They'd fit in with SC pretty well. If it wasn't for the turbans it would be difficult to tell uneducated violent fundamentalists apart.

Tell them that the Confederate flag is ISIS's new logo and that "born again" means "pious Muslim" in English and it's unlikely anyone will even notice the turbans (or facial hair) after a month or two...^_^

They'd likely even be an especially big hit around Christmas - after all, every picture of the Magi I've ever seen shows them with long beards and usually even sporting turbans.

1. Misogynistic, check
2. Homophobic, check
3. Put religion before state, check
4. Consider any type of critic of their religion blasphemous, check
5. Men believe they should tell women what to wear, who to marry, and how to act, check
6. Believe in the infallibility of their holy book which trumps any scientific fact if it conflicts with it, check
7. Believe marriage is reserved between men and women only, some men can have more than one and can divorce them at will, check

So why are Liberals in such a rush to defend Islam, allow tens of thousands to migrate into and potentially undermine secular Western countries that have fought hard for all the human rights we have today,

by breaking free from religious doctrines and beliefs which have led to separation of religion from state, freedom of speech, the acceptance of gay marriage and women's rights?


Perhaps they think they will somehow convert them from fundamentalists to Gay marriage, transgender tolerant, Cosmopolitan metro-sexual hipsters, based on their successes with the Christian religious right fundies.

Close, but not quite. Perhaps I shouldn't be leaking the plan, but... we're expecting to have greater success with the fundamentalist Muslims and are hoping they'll out-reproduce the fundamentalist Christians more quickly than the latter could themselves be converted.

huh? I'm not sure what you're trying to say with your knee jerk. I advocated for taking accused terrorists to trial before locking them up for life. What does that have to do with "moving them into my house"?

It's the stupidity of what people seem to think happens at Gitmo. For some reason not charging people and putting them there, which as I pointed out earlier is far better [for the prisoner] than being stuck in solitary in a prison in the US, seems to make sense. It doesn't matter that we do just fine when we put them on trial here.

He thinks that your house is where the court is?

 

[nickqt]

I love how scared people are of big bad GITMO inmates being locked up inside the US.

Quit shitting yourselves in fear, cowards. It'll be ok.

Gitmo is way different than any of those cases, the reason being that the govt is way, way short of admissible evidence against many of the detainees or they would have been put on trial long ago.

The Bushistas knew they were fucking over the prospects of future prosecution in authorizing the methods used. They knowingly put political stuntsmanship above the law when they created this wretched blight on our national character in the first place.

Stand them up in a court of law, civilian or military & make a case against them. If that can't be done, turn 'em loose. It's what the Constitution demands regardless of the obfuscations or consequences.

Fuckyou.

 

[pcgeek11]

This little thing called "US Federal law". You may have heard of it.

They aren't in the US. They should have held the Military tribunals. This crap doesn't belong in the US Court System.

 

[pcgeek11]

^^ This guy is part of our own personal murican isis.

^^^^ This guy is a moron. Serious.

 

[pcgeek11]

They can move them to Texas for all I care. Gitmo detainees haven't been convicted of terror crimes. The real terrorists, the ones that have been convicted, are already in US serving life sentences. Oh wait, let me guess, most of you didn't know that.

No they aren't. They were traded for a deserter.

 

[pcgeek11]

They also don't want to admit that the country was being totally propagandized in the wake of 9/11 for domestic political advantage & to facilitate the invasion of Iraq.

The prison at Gitmo was all about puffing up the threat & puffing their chests about how rough & tough the Bushistas were willing to be to deal with the much exaggerated menace.

There was a terrarist under every rock but Dubya & Dickie were there to pertekt us, unlike them terrarist coddlin' libruhls.

It worked beautifully. Hell, over a decade later righties still haven't figured it out.

If it is all about "righties" why haven't the "lefties" closed it down like Obama promised 7 years ago?

 

[Jhhnn]

Congress. Any other questions you already know the answers to?

Righties can't admit they were suckered by fear & bloodlust in the wake of 9/11, that they cheered while the Bushistas violated the spirit & letter of the Constitution in order to break some Terrarist balls at Gitmo in an entirely extra-legal way. They cheered even louder when we perpetrated naked aggression & invasion against Iraq.

The fact that this total trust in authoritarian propaganda is from people who normally claim the govt is incompetent or lying in damned near every other respect tells us just how effective fear mongering can be.

Like I said- Terrorists? Prove it!

 

[Jhhnn]

No they aren't. They were traded for a deserter.

Please. Those traded were functionaries in the Taliban govt, political prisoners of war.

They fought against us? The invaders? It's their country. What would you expect?

 

[GarfieldtheCat]

Based on what? Your bloodthirstiness to get them executed?

Funny how people like to ignore US law when it doesn't suit their purposes.

 

[CitizenKain]

Fuckyou.

Aww, hit a little close to home there.

Bull freaking shit, the US legal system can handle this. One of the absolute saddest outcomes of the entire war on terror is our fear of using US courts to try cases. We missed an opportunity to demonstrate to the fucked up parts of the world what the rule of law truly means and in the process squandered our moral authority.

If Osama's ultimate goal was to demonstrate to the world America's hypocrisy, he may yet have succeeded.

You're talking way over the heads of right wing knuckle draggers.

I wouldn't even give him the credit it being a nice dodge.

More like blow it way out of proportion dodge so no one can actually discuss a real, logical, and lawful solution.

ENGAGE RIGHT WING EXTREMISM RAAAAAAWR.

I wish he would just stick to OT and posting about far out conspiracies instead of acting like topics he posts about (that aren't sourced from extreme right wing think tank websites) are relevant and thought provoking.

Another thing about Gitmo detainees, a few of them are actually innocent as deemed by the gov't. Thing is, they can't release them into the US, & nowhere else in the world wants them, including their home countries. This creates a problem.

Of the 169 international terror suspects still stuck behind bars at one of the world’s most notorious jails, 87 have been long-approved for release, some as far back as during the George W Bush administration. http://www.rt.com/usa/gitmo-release-president-obama-310/

Call me crazy, but if someone slandered my name in public and caused me to no longer be able to obtain employment or place of residence, would the slander-er be held liable? Seems like our government should cough up some sort of compensation to them if this were the case.
