Ignorance being spread like shotgun pellets is the best way to describe what I have read today - for shame.
... it's great the freedom we all have, wonder how we got it, good lord how will be able to keep it!
Try a little research, and not a biased media or documentary, and you'll find that each person is being held with cause. The COALITION, not just the U.S., is trying to get the respective countries to take back their enemy combatants. However, WE have an opportunity - do we send the people that were caught fighting or actively engaged in actions that threatened innocent people and Coalition Forces back to terrorist sponsored states like Jordan or Palestine knowing they will be cheered, glorified, and more than likely released to do...
Are there injustices being born out of the holding, detaining or imprisoning of some people on the grand scale in the war on terror - yes. Now, be objective and weight the facts {not the media, the actors, your youth, your emotions, nor your personal dislike for President Bush - more over use your brain}, and ask yourself "are the innocent people who have been slaughtered, murdered, tortured, etc. not deserving of any kind of justice!" Are WE not obligated to protect people in light of what happened on 9/11, England, Spain, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Have we not learned from simple mistakes that we must not allow our emotions and human passions to control matters of safety and security for the innocent - how many times have we heard recently of children and women being raped and murdered and then not being surprised to find out that the monsters who did these things were early release convicted felons.
SHAME ON YOU PekkaA for being so fucked-up to think that it's unfair and for being so inconsiderate to the thousands who have been slaughtered and the tens of thousands who have lost people they love. You and your bleeding heart types are a part of the balance of right and wrong and I respect that. However, that's why when it comes to matters of life or death you and I both are best to leave these decisions to professionals and people in the know - be it we agree or disagree - besides there is plenty of debate and balance at the executive level. Second guessing is really a trait of weakness. Simple terms; the very, very few people WE detain, who have been caught, are being treated far better than the way terrorist have ever treated even the most precious and innocent of lives. BN - you can't play because intellect is required
Yerded, If you want to do something productive then start an honest debate on ways of changing, not assessing blame, a culture that believes the strapping of bombs on impressionable teens and the killing of innocent children is acceptable all in the name of an imaginary war - a war were no one was ever attacked first.
Kaboom.
