They get a fair trial in a military court.


Nice to hear - would be a great improvement, even if I still doubt the Jurisdiction of military courts.

When exactly wil that be, by your presumption? They hold people there since 2001, without any open charges (filed charges have been withdrawn IN 2008(!) because they resulted from the application of means the court himself called outright torture) - truly, "the land of the free and the home of the brave". You may want (or probably not, but you should, anyway) read http://www.hrw.org/features/guantanamo

Sorry if I sound sarcastic - that's probably because I am. You know, I am sad, because I love a great nation and it's people... But I find it kind of hard these days in certain aspects. And don't mix my word with the lack of friendship - if you have a friend, and see him err, is it friendship to follow that path with him, or is it friendship to tell him he errs, and try to get him back on a decent way? Like when your friend decides to solve his financial problems by performing a holdup at your local Seven Eleven - will you try to stop him, or will you hand him some ammo?

There is a classic movie that had a catch line: "A man went Looking for America. And couldn't find it anywhere..."
