Guantanamo closure plan ordered

I am 90% in agreement, There does need to be more clear rules and oversight, but to put 5 people in prison for the rest of thier lives because as you say they may have panicked in a war zone is a travesty.

That can be spelled out in the contract.

I do sympathize with their situation. I can only imagine what it is like to be in combat, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. Personally I do not feel it is appropriate to label these contractors as civilians specifically due to the environment they are in. There should be understanding in situations like this, but first there needs to be a sound system in place to analyze it.

Imo they should be held under stricter codes of conduct than a civilian due to being in an environment where they hold every advantage over the Iraqi citizen, but with that comes exceptions for conduct while under duress. A scared civilian shooting others in New York City should be charged with manslaughter but the situation in Iraq cannot be defined by our domestic justice system. It would be more appropriate to place those contractors under the military's jurisdiction.

Look all partisan banter aside, I would accept them being held under the UCMJ rules this would prevent the nonsense against them we hear today.
 
Blackwater are criminals? in what jurisdiction? what crime has Blackwater committed.....

They are private people in a foreign country going around shooting and killing people?
If I went to Iraq and started killing people that my government deem bad then I would certainly be a criminal in Iraq and deserve penalty.

Statments like this make you look like a liar or an ignoramus, your choice. :2wave:

They arrest people and resort to violence, both those things are a crime. They are a private company.. There are many incidents where blackwater people have killed Iraqis and done other horrendous acts.. They ARE criminals just for being there and doing the things they do. Actually the US government is the criminals for allowing it.

You have a very overactive imagination..... :lol:
 
I believe Zeebra has shown his true colors: a poseur of anti-americanism that peddles specious arguments with no basis in factual support (made obviously apparent by his infantile understanding of the Geneva Conventions). It comes as no surprise that such a narrow-minded and resentful individual would spout nonsense such as "America is worse than the Nazis". A truly sad example of how freedom and unlimited information is powerless to overcome the self imposed biases of the mind.

And the trolling is back. Thank you for your view on me.. I will refrain from explaining my view on you, if I did I would get banned. :mrgreen:


You dont know what you are talking about.. Its okay, I forgive you.. You cant actually help it.
You never actually read what I wrote, nor responded to it in a proper way. Its easy to sum it all up with a personal attack, which is your speciality.. But I am simply better than you in all ways so I will refrain from doing the same.

Thank you again for proving me right..

This thread is full of so much fail. :monkey
 
This thread is full

Nope, not yet.. I am just awaiting the cavalary of the group of "special republicans" to arrive here and the thread moved to the basement so that I can take of my gloves and give you guys a real round of beatings.
You have already ruined this thread, but dont blame me when you end up going home to your mamma's crying as a result of me responding in a similar fashion(which I will once the thread is in the basement).

Ah, so you will "sink to our level", thus, making you a hypocrite. :doh

Bring on the basement. I fail to see how this could get worse.

:lol: just like a socialist european. Why are you waiting for others to do your work, start a thread in the basement, no one is stopping you! :lol:

You do? I have treated you so nice while you guys have been ******** and trolling this post. Even the last posts, Ive been quite fair and nice to you. I can sink to your level if I prepare myself yes, I just have to prepare to be an ******* because it doesnt come natural to me like it does to you. :mrgreen:
 
funny how M zeebra completley ignored this post. :lol:

Yah, because it was trash. I never said the UN brought peace to any of those places. If you think I did you have seriously misquoted me like you always do. :2razz:


Ps. That post is also completely irrelevant to this thread.

I am not the socialist. You guys are the republicans, and I am just trying to round you all up in this thread to take on the 5-10 of you, so that you will have a fair fight against me alone. In the end all of you will end up crying.. It just wouldn't be fair of me to take it out on ONLY two of you, my victory would be so crushingly clear and easy :mrgreen:

You've treated us "so nice" huh? This is all from one page of this thread:

Its nice to see how tolerant and intelligent Americans are.. I have actually read the Koran volunteered.. And If you care to debate about Christianity, Islam and Judaism I am up for the debate, I have also read the bible btw..

I didnt pay much for the Iraq war except for the intellectual dread it has been to see what has been going on in the US the last decade and having to respond and communicate with people like YOU.

Listening to you its apparently people like you who eat any horse**** they are served. I am not the one in full support of either Scrhoeder or Chirac, but they were right on the Iraq war. You seem like a typical republican that just swallows anything that comes from the leadership and adopt their policies as you own.
Me I am a complex mix of the best of the best, I like the best of everyone and take away the ****, and adopt all the best for myself in creating my own policies and opinions :mrgreen:

The ALL American way to debate, giving yourself a score against another.. Wow how pathetic.

You are such a hypocrite, it's just so unfortunate that you cannot see it.

Look on the bright side, it is good for some laughs......

You've not treated me nice, yet I kept the gloves on and still have them on.. I stand with that view. Ive tried to be as civil as I can with you guys, but then you just had to ruin this thread, so I'm prepared to take the gloves off when enough of you guys gather here to make it exciting enough for me, rather than say let me take of the gloves and have a crushing victory over just 3 or 4 of you guys in the first round. :mrgreen:
 
Yes, finally you guys are teaming up, but you need to do better than that to have a chance at all. You need to gather at least a handful the likes of you to not get beat as soon as my gloves are off. :mrgreen:

I'm not a homosexual... thanks anyway. :2wave:
