Quite often, he gets very confused and has no idea who he's even arguing with or trying to insult. But it can be fun to watch him come undone as he desperately tries to organize his "thoughts" into something even remotely coherent... <vbg> -- "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -- Albert Einstein. http://911research.wtc7.net http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org

Per a 2007 Seton Hall analysis of the Guantanamo Bay detainees, exactly one and only one detainee was reported to have been captured by U.S. forces on a battlefield. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1089475

When speaking of these pirates, there is NO doubt as to their actions/intentions. The three that Obama ordered executed did not receive anything other than what they deserved. A man/men carrying an AK-47, boarding a vessel with intentions of taking human hostages has to realize there is the possibility of extreme consequences. That is what they got.

Regardless, many have been rearrested. > <http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article559123...> As I understand it, about 750 people have been held. The largest number were captured by Pakistani rather than U.S. or Nato forces. Some others were turned over by Afghan warlords. Maybe 4-5 % were captured by U.S. forces and maybe 4-5% were listed as captured on the battlefield by U.S. allies. By U.S. records only one was reported caputred on the battlefield by U.S. troops. If "battlefield is a slippery slope, you figure "returned to the battlefield" might be every bit as slippery ? > > Jim Hoft has the shocking report from Reuters that the Pentagon has > identified > 61 former detainees at the Guantanamo prison camp who subsequent to their > release have committed acts of terrorism: > <http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/01/pentagon_says_61_former_g...> |
