It appears BO has to make a decision over these Prisoners in Afghanistan, secret prisoners.....note the last resort to take them into a US Judicial System. If they were caught in battle against us.....then we need to take them out and execute them. Otherwise they will just take up the fight somewhere else. What interests me was the Russians captured. What say ye?



The fate of a group of prisoners held in near-total secrecy by U.S. forces at a prison in Afghanistan is hanging in limbo, the facility's commander said, as Washington gropes for options after its legal right to hold them there expires in December. The inmates - all foreign nationals captured on battlefields around the world - could be transferred to the U.S. court system or, as a last resort, to the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, Brigadier General Patrick J. Reinert told Reuters.

The quandary over what to do with the detainees held in a prison near Bagram airfield, north of Kabul, has rekindled the outrage over the U.S. policy of rendition in the early phases of the Afghan war. The United State abandoned that policy under President Barack Obama, but the detention of those being held near Bagram is a reminder that the issue has not been concluded. Almost nothing is known of the detainees' identities. The United States has declined to disclose their nationalities, where they were captured and how many are still in its custody. Most of the prisoners are Pakistani, according to the human rights group Justice Project Pakistan. Some are from Yemen, Russia and Saudi Arabia.....snip~

Kill 'em. Find their families, and send them the remains with a note that their relative will not be seeing Allah. Ever.

Well.....BO has a lil bit of trouble with his own team over Prisoners and not closing Gitmo.....now this is all his.

Yeah. I wouldn't mind GITMO, but given that Obama promised to close it a long time ago and that the administration prefers the Justice system instead, I'd rather see them go straight to hell, and get it over with. Didn't the administration release the head of ISIS in 2009?
 
At the end of the war...release the prisoners. If you they are not prisoners of war, try them in court. Everything else is a violation of sovereignty. And I am all for these bad guys being captured since we are at war.

Well we shouldn't have to take care of them.....let the Afghans Government decide what to do with them. Trying them in a court of law for Terrorism. Then they have no Rights so therefor execute them.

I agree, if they were caught in Afghanistan let the government there have them. If they were caught in IRaq, let the Iraqi government handle them.

I have little doubt that most will be set free so either we, the good old USA, the Afghani or our allies will have to fight them again. Much like those Taliban commanders set free in the Bergdahl trade.

Right. We shouldn't have to take care of these folks to start with. If the Muzzies can't take care of their own, or won't, then they don't get to tell us what we should do when we're doing their work for them. Sorry, but I'm feeling particularly ornery today.

Yep and we could recommend they keep them locked up.....or do what they got to do. That would be our advice. But lets be real clear.....should they show up killing our people anywhere else. First things first.....we are coming to talk to you. Make no mistake about that.

I am not for trying them and using the Judicial system to keep them locked up for the rest of their lives.....Cut the expense. Like TNE said let whatever country decide that is their domain.

Anything that's related to terrorism.....no point in keeping these guys around.

For the terrorist, a military tribunal and death. For the Taliban soldier or fighter, threat them as POW's and keep them in GITMO until the president of Afghanistan says different. I see a difference between the two.
 
Well, isn't that odd. The fellow that commanded Bucca says it was in 2009, and so does virtually all the foreign press. I'll take that commander's word. He's never lied to me.

"The Defense Department said that the man now known as Baghdadi was released in 2004"

Defense department works for Obama. Again, the commander says 2009. Punditfact is known for being less than honest. I'll take the commander's word and the word of the foreign press. I'm blaming Obama because the facts as I see them point right to him and not to a commander who has nothing to gain by offering a lie.

:doh Oh god. Yup you caught em. Its all a conspiracy.

The president lies, and his administration lies for him as well. It was the video. You can keep your health insurance. You can keep your doctor. Not a smidgen of corruption at the IRS. Why would I believe much of anything that comes from this administration or anything they control? If they told you the sky was green you'd agree and swear to it on a stack of manifestoes.

Baghdadi was released in 2004. If you have a problem with factual information that is your own problem. You can still try to blame it on Obama, but the facts do not align with your petty rhetoric.

You willingly repeat whatever you're told. Baghdadi was released in 2009 because the commander of Bucca recognizes him as the man released in 2009. You can believe Obama. I'm buying the commander's factual and first hand account - you know, the guy who was actually there and saw it. I already have reason to disbelieve this administration.
 
To those who find this to be a good thing. What say you about the indefinite detaining of American citizens?
