Damn, twit, you've taking your usual simple minded extremism to new levels of absurdity with that fragile little strawman.

Bear that in mind...my opinion is based on several thousand years of legal precident. His is based on being a unthinking follower.

I really don't know where we're going, or what you'd like to specifically debate. I'll say it more plainly, as per the link I posted. At least 61 people previously detained at Gitmo have been re-arrested on terrorism charges. That is about as simple as it can be made. The military is far from perfect, as is any other organization that employs hundreds of thousands of people.

When speaking of these > pirates, there is NO doubt as to their actions/intentions. Actually, your quote specifically stated anyone. Here it is: "He wasn't taken in for being stupid. He was arrested for kidnapping and theft. He SHOULD BE shot or hanged, as should any person trying to kidnap and hold innocent civilians." "Any person" would seem to include the members of the U.S. military who kidnapped and tortured innocent civilians - even children. Justice shouldn't be selective. But I don't think they should shot or hanged. They should get a fair trial. We have to be better than the dregs of humanity and set an example for others. -- "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." -- Albert Einstein. http://911research.wtc7.net http://www.journalof911studies.com/ http://www.ae911truth.org

Thankfully, the Russians sent a rather pointed message to them very recently. I can't imagine that pirates will be thinking "Russian waters, now THAT'S the place to go to work" after recent events. -- Beav |
