The standards used in Gitmo were judged to be human rights abuses and against international law when the Soviets were doing the exact same things to our agents and people we were alligned with. Now that we're doing it, all of the sudden it's ok. The SC made the right decision. The country will be the stronger for it. The world will be better off because of it. If they're terrorists, they won't be able to make it past the preliminary hearing. If not, they shouldn't be in jail.
Have you heard about the people in Gitmo who were 1) mentally ill and not a threat, just picked up by accident; 2) mentally retarded, and not a threat and just picked up by accident; 3) foreign workers who were not terroists but were picked up because the Americans were offering cash bounties for foreign fighters and any foreigner was good enough back then; or 4) foreign nationals picked up by accident because of mistaken identity. Yes, the US has detained and released all of the above from Gitmo.
I can't believe I agreed with something Sniper said. Either I'm wrong or the blind pig just found a truffle.
