a very recent bi-partisan, blue ribbon Congressional committee said Bush

Yes torturous, mental in exchange for the physical. The supreme court
has seen fit to torture us all in exchange for the lot that has befallen

who would kill you if they had the chance, would deny you your rights if

Whatever became of innocent until proven guilty? When did the US convert
to Napoleanic law?
Nowadays, the US assumes guilt and then denies the right of a trial.

Wait a minute. My response was meant to show a bit of the hypocrisy
going on.
One person starts 'demonizing' someone who he had just finished accusing
of 'demonizing'. He most likely didn't even realize he was doing it.
The word 'demonize' is wearing pretty thin with me right about now, what
with the exorcism of Ayn Rand's ghost and all. She didn't see the profit
in leaving.

Most of the people at Guantanamo were turned-in for bounty or otherwise
the result of something other than capture on the battlefield. If they
are POWs, this ruling doesn't apply. They are to be held under the
Geneva Conventions, which do not allow torture.
There is no Declaration of War in effect right now, unlike the Japs and
the Gerrys.

Those people were not picked up on the street or dragged out of their
beds at three in morning or turned in to the occupiers as a means of
revenge or as a political move by the competition.
An example of how things have been twisted around:
After WWII, Japanese soldiers who had water boarded US prisoners were
branded as having committed war crimes. In Texas, 1983, a Sheriff and
three deputies got 10 years for torturing with the technique. Today,
there must be a kinder, gentler version of this torture, as it's
accepted US practice. Hell, they even changed the definition of
'torture' to cover their illegal as hell backsides.
Please, do some research. Find out what monsters have taken over your
country:

Good thing the English didn't invent the term 'Un-Lawful Military
Combatant' during the US war of independence. There were LOTS of
un-uniformed people shooting at them from behind trees, bushes and houses.
> calling someone gullible is not demonizing for gawd's sake.
Well, we differ on that. 'Gullible' has a connotation of an
unsophisticated and less than smart person. A gullible person is easily
tricked or suckered. They are pawns in the hands of their 'users'.
The term is sometimes used to described someone who, because of their
own experiences, thinks differently than we do. Gullible, in the sense
you used it, means 'wrong'.
Thinking differently doesn't automatically mean thinking incorrectly.

Want to know what real torture is ?? Read up on the torture rooms found
in Iraq, and the techniques and tools the terrorists (some held in
Gitmo) used .
US troops are subjected to waterboarding wbile training how to resist
interrogation. Unfortunately there is no way to resist having ones head
sawed off with a dull knife.

"Bellinger said most of the detainees were captured on the battlefield,
but are not categorized as prisoners of war because al Qaeda is not a
signatory to the Geneva Conventions, and "neither the Taliban nor al
Qaeda met any of the definitions of the term 'prisoner of war'" outlined
in the conventions.
Due to security threats, "the Geneva Conventions themselves make very
clear ... that there would be certain categories of individuals -- spies
or 'saboteurs,' ... who should be considered to have forfeited their
rights of communication with the outside world," he said
Bellinger commented on a forthcoming U.N. report regarding the detainees
at Guantanamo.
"The U.S. government has seen an advance draft of it," he said. "We
think that the report is fundamentally flawed in its procedures and is
riddled with inaccuracies and really was done in a way, frankly, that
discredits the report overall and the work of the rapporteurs in this
effort."
Bellinger criticized the U.N. for writing the report without visiting
Guantanamo, even though they had been invited to do so. "

Al Qaeda Manual Drives Detainee Behavior at Guantanamo Bay
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2005 – If you're a Muslim extremist captured while
fighting your holy war against "infidels," avoid revealing information
at all costs, don't give your real name and claim that you were
mistreated or tortured during your detention.
This instruction comes straight from the pages of an official al Qaeda
training manual, and officials at the detention facility at Naval
Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, say they see clear evidence that detainees
are well-versed in its contents.
Police in Manchester, England, discovered the manual, which has come to
be known as the "Manchester document," in 2000 while searching computer
files found in the home of a known al Qaeda member. The contents were
introduced as evidence into the 2001 trial of terrorists who bombed the
U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998.
The FBI translated the document into English, and it is posted on the
Justice Department's Web site.
The 18-chapter manual provides a detailed window into al Qaeda's network
and its procedures for waging jihad - from conducting surveillance
operations to carrying out assassinations to working with forged documents.
The closing chapter teaches al Qaeda operatives how to operate in a
prison or detention center. It directs detainees to "insist on proving
that torture was inflicted" and to "complain of mistreatment while in
prison."
Chapter 17 instructs them to "be careful not to give the enemy any vital
information" during interrogations.
Another section of the manual directs commanders to teach their
operatives what to say if they're captured, and to explain it "more than
once to ensure that they have assimilated it." To reinforce the message,
it tells commanders to have operatives "explain it back to the commander."
And at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, detainees take this
instruction to heart. Many of the more than 500 detainees are
"uncooperative" in providing intelligence, Army Brig. Gen. Jay Hood,
commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo, told military analysts who
traveled to the facility June 24 and reiterated today during a hearing
before the House Armed Services Committee.
Some detainees have never uttered a single word during more than three
years of interrogation. Others give false names or refuse to offer their
real names.
This can prove challenging for interrogators at the facility, because
many detainees "follow the al Qaeda SOP (standard operating procedures)
to the T," according to Army Col. John Hadjis, chief of staff for Joint
Task Force Guantanamo.
Officials say they see evidence of the al Qaeda-directed misinformation
campaign in allegations of detainee abuse and mishandling of the Koran
at Guantanamo Bay.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld expressed frustration over this
effort during a June 21 interview on the "Tony Snow Show."
"These detainees are trained to lie, they're trained to say they were
tortured, and the minute we release them or the minute they get a
lawyer, very frequently they'll go out and they will announce that
they've been tortured," Rumsfeld said.
The media jumps on these claims, reporting them as "another example of
torture," the secretary said, "when in fact, (terrorists have) been
trained to do that, and their training manual says so."
During a February 2004 Pentagon news conference, a DoD official said new
information provided by detainees during questioning is analyzed to
determine its reliability.
"Unfortunately, many detainees are deceptive and prefer to conceal their
identifies and their actions," said Paul Butler, principal deputy
assistant secretary for special operations and low-intensity conflict.
Butler said the Manchester document includes "a large section which
teaches al Qaeda operatives counterinterrogation techniques: how to lie,
how to minimize your role."
The document, he said, has surfaced in various locations, including
Afghanistan.
The manual's preface offers a chilling reminder of the mentality that
drives al Qaeda disciples and the lengths they will go to for their cause.
"The confrontation that we are calling for ... does not know Socratic
debates, ... Platonic ideals ... nor Aristotelian diplomacy," its
opening pages read. "But it knows the dialogue of bullets, the ideals of
assassination, bombing and destruction, and the diplomacy of the cannon
and machine gun."

more ways that you are subject to US law. You can get a birth
certificate, a social security number, get a bank account, start paying
taxes. In this and other ways you have agreed to accept the court
systems decisions.
Immigrants have to go through a process to become citizens and at the
end declare to uphold the constitution of the US and be subjects to its
laws.
In order to petition the court you have to have standing in that court
or they will not hear you. This is at any level of the court system
state or federal. Foreign military combatants have no standing in US
courts.
For a court to hear a complaint it must have jurisdiction over the law
in question. You must show that you will abide by the courts decision
or in other words agree that you are subject to that courts authority.
You must have standing before the court if you are bring the action or
complaint. If you don't have standing before the court you need to hire
a lawyer that does.
Jurisdiction is why the administration is keeping the foreign military
combatants at GITMO where there is no presiding US judge.
******
Foreign military combatants are being jailed in the territory of Cuba
leased to the US military with no presiding US judge.
Foreign military combatants are not citizens of the USA and not subject
to US law.
Foreign military combatants do not have standing before any US court.
Foreign military combatants rights are controlled by the rules of past
Geneva conventions that the USA has agreed to follow. The law over
these foreigners captured by US military forces during armed conflicts
is subject to those rules and are to be adjudicated by military
tribunal.
Foreign military combatants rights and their very lives are subject to
our military forces only and not any US court.

The English at the time executed anyone that gave them a problem on the
spot. The English military were judge, jury, and executioner. They
killed anyone they felt like killing at the time. If they came across
someone's farm house they wanted to stay at and the people didn't move
out fast enough they were shot.

All US military bases are US soil, just as are all US embassies. As such,
the US Supreme Court and lower Federal courts have jurisdiction over anyone
being detained on any US military base.
There is no presiding US court judge at any US military base in a foreign
country, but all JAG court decisions are appealable and addressable to US
Federal courts, including the Supreme Court.
GITMO is not US soil. It is Cuban soil leased to the US military and it
is not an embassy.
Yeah sure thing. Name the courts then.

In theory for issues related to people in the US military service not
any foreigners. US law does not pertain to foreigners brought to GITMO
by the US military. These foreigner do not have visas or other
documentation.

Of course you would... and in WWII you and your liberal friends would

Is he the same guy that said prisoner suicide was actually 'Asymmetrical
warfare' against the US? No, wait..that was war criminal Harris, who,
coincidentally, was only following orders.

Very much like Iraq? Were there premeditated rapes of fourteen year olds

History seems to repeat itself.
The US fought the English and now, the Iraqis are fighting you.

Why would I read a site that classifies a group of people as stupid?
The poster quoted:
=======================================
An April 2007 Pew Research Study survey found that viewers of the
conservative Fox News channel had the lowest knowledge of national and
international affairs."
=======================================
This says 'viewers'. That could be anybody. I'm sure both political
wings watch each other's propaganda.
I'd rather watch factual NEWS. Editorial comment belongs in the opinion
section.

Most days.

They are not fighting me or the US troops. There are some insurgents
trained and supplied in Iran trying to create mayhem in Iraq though.

I've been meaning to ask....what does the above line mean? I've looked
at it from all angles and still can't figure it out.
You really need to get out more. That's a terrible analogy. Again I
remind you, there is no Declaration of War.
The USA is not in any great danger. When the Soviets were within 15
minutes of wasting both coasts we didn't trample the Constitution this
bad. (My "grow a pair" analogy...)

Why ? because you declare it so ??
During the period the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was in effect, US "peace
groups" opposed war with Hitler. Of course that all changed when Hitler
invaded Soviet Russia.

The Constitution is not being trampled simply because you and your waco

I always wondered why the US airbases in the UK were called RAF Stations,
not USAF Bases - now I know why.
Thanks for the info.
That's right. Foreign US military bases are not US soil. Usually they
are some kind of lease agreement where they US has use of the land for
some period of time but the country they are in is not giving up all
rights to the land during the lease. US law does not recognize these
agreements as "US soil" to my knowledge.

SOFA agreements (like the one Bush is trying to force on the Iraqi
government ATM), cover this. Anyone that the US holds, the US has
jurisdiction over. If, on the other hand, someone under the SOFA is busted
doing something outside the base (which IS sovereign US territory, just as
an embassy is, regardless of any contractural agreement that cedes the land
to the US during whatever period is negotiated), then they may or may not be
under jurisdiction of the host country.
Ergo Third Party Nationals are in Limbo - Oops Gitmo.
