I don't understand how our country can do this type of stuff. These are detainees, they aren't prisoners that have been charged with anything... the majority of them usually don't end up having anything to do with terror, how can we let this happen, they have no rights, they can't even consult an attorney... oh my god this shit pisses me off, the Bush administration needs to stop...

The Bush administration just needs to stop period, and it will only get worse, that little fuck has simply picked up the ball his daddy had to drop.

Yeah, but they have the guns. First we will need to make a run to meh-he-ko to get some guns.

it can happen because the world has shown america that the geneva convention means nothing, and that despite the lack of overwhelming evidence against the "Detainees" america will do as it has always done (check out the rounding up of japanese-americans during WWII, and the same of arab-americans during the gulf war, and nay ethnic group during any war america has been involved in) and since america is supposedly the "World Power" none would dare actually threaten america enough to stop.
being the president has lost a lot of the risk that used to keep people from running for said office. perhaps we should give more risk to presidency, and less prestige.

I think tryp and I are the only people on this board who actually voted for Bush.

Please, never misuse the word 'literally.' You do not think it is litereally turning into a circus, I would wager, with elephants and clowns and candy and tightrope walkers. You figuratively think so. Thank you for your time.

Dear americans,

We have some guillotines for you to rent, just in case.
Think about it.

i don't vote, ever, literally. nevertheless, i lean toward the republican platform if that helps. that said, i am embarassed that our president is in fact our president.

the united states isn't a republic, nor is it a democracy. it is in fact an oligarchy, controlled by a military industrial complex that has grown since the end of world war two and is sadly unaccountable for its actions.

lastly, i hope we here are all aware that practically EVERY country has ILLEGALLY held people against their will at some point or another. the USA is not the only offender.

But we at least could change our policies, even if other countries do it does that make it right?

never does, my friend, but that hardly the point. an armed rebellion would likely fail even if the tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of patriots now and again. a civil war, now, that would be a capital idea.

i can just see it, civil war breaking out again, this time every other country will be watching and waiting, ready to take whatever's left over when it's all said and done.
at this point i almost think it might be good for the world and america, spread some of the grease around, let someone else play at being the big dick in town.
