Prisoners in war do not get American justice. There is another kind of court that they have. I won’t pretend I know a ton about it because I don’t know much about it at all but I know in past wars we did not take prisoners to the US and have a court trial. I don’t think they should live there forever and I do think there should be some sort of court. I hate the UN but maybe they could have court. I really don’t know the answer to that but I know due process is a term from our court system. I don’t know who should hold court for them but even the worse guy in gitmo should have a trial.
I did not suggest you said “everyone of them are innocent” Im sorry if you thought I meant that.
You said this…”When reading the situation as it is laid out in the article, it appears that they are mostly referring to the Uighurs. Of which there are 17 of them. They have been deemed safe to release for a long time, except a country other than CHina is willing to take them, and of course we wont be returning them to China.
Id like to know why these people were detained in the first place? It sounds to me that thier detention was illegal or at least immorale in the first place. I am not thrilled about any of them being released here, but we dont have a choice after the policies that Bush created.”
Of course we have a choice; there is a world court yes? Let them hold the trial but if you think “some” of them really are innocent let them come live at your house. The government could pay you to foster family them.
If you think some of the men there are innocent then they had to have been framed. Who framed them? Do you think President Bush flew to Iraq and personally caught and framed these men? If these men are innocent they were framed by our troops. If you say they are innocent then you are saying our troops framed them, lied about them and continue in a lie about them… what does that make our troops?
Remember it was you who said “It sounds to me that thier detention was illegal or at least immorale in the first place.” Who detained them? The troops….
If it is illegal and or immoral to detain them then does it not stand to reason it was illegal and or immoral to arrest them? Who arrested them? The troops….
and so letting more “wrong ones” go is ok because Bush did it?
You and pocket both play a funny word games that will take time for me to learn the rules. Next time either of you say there are innocent men in gitmo who were framed I will have to remember that in now way does that mean the soldiers who arrested them knowing they are innocent are to blame and when there is talk of torture in no way is the soldiers who did the alleged torture to blame.
We can just say this stuff is going on and if we say Bush did it then its all ok. These accusations will in no way reflect on the troops.
What a joke
