Well the whiney-assed liberals are bitching and complaining about how the cowards..er taliban prisoners treatment. How many libbys on this site agree? If so why? Personally i think they are being treated too good and should at least be poked with a sharp stick.

I saw on television that they were already being poked by sticks. Did anyone else see that? It is a custom that the officials are allowed to do. Beat those damn native pashtuns for being there and shit. Plenty of taliban were poked by hot metal sticks as well, all that torture and shit, that is the main job of the cia there. Still though what did you hear about their treatment? I only heard that the prisoners were being shipped to cuba. That sounds odd to me. Since we consider Cuba a terrorist state. So I guess their are different kinds of terrorists, the ones we can trust, and vice versa.

Pretty much the entire EU is complaining that the US is not following the Geneva Convention, that's who's complaining. As far as them being sent to Cuba, there's a US base that's been there since the US helped remove the Spanish from Cuba. The place where they're being sent is controled by the US, so it's not as if Castro has a lot to say about it. Although I tend to agree with Castro that if the US is serious about fighting terrorism, we need to shut down the groups in Florida that are trying to do similiar things in Cuba. While we may not agree/like Castro, it's the government and the US is supporting(or at least allowing) terrorists against a recognized government.

They were saying that they were forced to kneel all day when in fact it was a still picture that showed them on their knees between being transported..a picture is worth a thousand lies.

For a start they are only suspected criminals, they have yet to stand trial. When they do it will be before a military tribunal, maybe the US legal system isn't up to the job of convicting them. Also the US government has stated that the Geneva convention does not apply in their case, as they are 'unlawfull combatants' rather than prisoners of war. The photographs of them kneeling down clearly show them undergoing a form of torture. They were wearing blindfolds, earmuffs, breathing masks and large mittens - i.e. they could'nt see, hear, smell or touch. This is the sort of technique that was used in Eastern Europe in the cold war to soften up captives before interogation. Quite a big fuss of that photograph was made in Europe, as MokshaMan said, however later emerged that they were only treated like that on arrival, and a Britsh prisoner later reportedly said he had 'no complaints' about his treatment...according to the UK Foreign Office.

****The photographs of them kneeling down clearly show them undergoing a form of torture. ****
kneeling is torture? Man the EU must really be wimpy...where is the torture..is a person being held on bond a form or torture since it has not been proven that they were guilty?
****They were wearing blindfolds, earmuffs, breathing masks and large mittens - i.e. they could'nt see, hear, smell or touch.****
They were wearing blindfolds: this is not torture and this is done to avoid uprisings..perfectly legal
They were wearing Earmuffs: Have you ever flown in a C-130? It's extremely load and the US soldiers wear the same thing..sorry no torture here.
Breathing nasks: One of the prisoners bite a soldier therefor is perfectly fine.
Large mittens: So What?
****This is the sort of technique that was used in Eastern Europe in the cold war to soften up captives before interogation. ***
ha ha ha ..no it's not..your nutty
****and a Britsh prisoner later reportedly said he had 'no complaints' about his treatment...according to the UK Foreign Office. ****
Then what was the point of your post?

I did not know that Castro let the military bases of the united states stay after he took power in the form of an evil communist dictatorship. And the fact that he is going to allow taliban prisoners to be imprisoned on his island is odd. Because for all we know he could have funded them, or allies of this terrorist group. Maybe that is the plan, to bring the prisoners there, and then they will admit they were paid by cubans. And we will nuke the whole island, and then the terrorism will finally be over.

Castro like any leader is concerned about his legacy, he wants for the "communist" regime to continue after his death. If it does not his image will be soiled and ruined much like Lenin's(not saying he wasn't a "bad" man, just that under a communist government he was viewed more positively) has been. Castro is too old to worry about trying to destroy the US, besides he takes far too much pleasure in moking the US. Castro also seems to be trying at least half heartedly to form a better relationship with the US in the face of terrorism. It would help him(and his brother, who is next in line) if the US were to crack down on anti-Castro groups in the US. Plus the base is a constant source of income for his government(I mean come on his largest trading partner is Canada... how good can the country be doing). The embargo by the US on Cuba has gone past its usefulness and should be ended. Although I don't agree with the government in power, since the demise of the USSR Cuba no longer represents a real danger for the US. Nuking the island would be foolish since the US has a strategic base on it.

Comparing Lenin to Castro is wrong. When people think of lenin they think of his corrupt rule. The starvation and the general disparity of the nation. So the people turned to who? Noone, they had only their government and their faith in communism to achieve a better state. When you see the cuban country and how it has changed since Castro took power. You can see how the country has changed for the better. Why don't you compare some notes from CIA factbook from spanish rule, to american rule, and then to Castro rule. You will see only a slight change in economic condition from the spanish to american, and then you will see a sharp curve that represents a third world country being turned into a first world country in matter of 40 years due to industrialization of the nation which even america could use in this day. The embargo was the u.s. way of explaining to their public that they did no wrong in governing their country, and that they should seek democracy alike them. Which is dangerous, democracy is dangerous, otherwise Afghanistan would have it. But so is dictatorship, and I don't trust who is being placed in power in Afghanistan. I think the country will return to the opium center of the world. More money in offshore accounts for the leader and who else is in on it. And more american money in the hands of poor afghanistan farmers. And how is that moving toward ending the drug war? I can expect some midgrade heroin to start moving the streets. All good though right. Cheaper heroin.

i used to live in guantanamo bay cuba. i had a clear view (from a distance) of this place. i had a really crappy car too, and when i used to fix stuff on it, i would race it down this long road right in front of my neighborhood. and usually i would make it to the end and drive by these exact same 'prisoner camps'. everything after that was off limits and soldiers in full gear with machine guns would drive up in decked out hummers and interrogate you right there on the spot for why you were there.
this place is just 'bushy' type desert and shit and being out there at night isn't really that bad. during the day, it gets hot, but not unbearable hot. these prisoners are NOT being mistreated. i know this for a fact. the 'prisons' were basically my front yard, about 2 football fields away from my front door. i have pictures of cuba if you want me to put in the effort to try and post them here.....

It would be cool if you posted some pictures of Cuba. What did you think of the situation in Cuba. Did you think most people were Pro Castro or Anti Castro. I have never been there, but only have read statistics of the current cuban economy. With all the media around the Elian Gonzalez case, one can only assume that Castro was a evil corrupt dictator, and in need of urgent assasination.

there is a mile-wide mine field around the whole perimeter of guantanamo bay's installation. no one is allowed on or off the base except for 'contracted' workers, who commute through heavily guarded walkways between the 'real' cuba and 'america's' cuba. i think i've already devulged enough information about my existence on this base.
the whole place is like a little town...neighborhoods..stores..restaruants and all this other shit. i hated the place..and so did all my friends. i'll go try to find some pictures. i know i have one pic that is right out my front window somewhere....
for some reason the shroomery is really slow for me right now, so it might take a while.....

I believe your television stations are calling this "The *WAR* of Terrorism"? Right?
I believe you said it yourself *WAR*, so then Taliban *PRISONERS* are unlawful whatevers, not "PRISONERS of WAR"? Oh let me guess they are detainees thus have no need for armed guards and shackles, what right does the United States have to detain these men on?
We all know that Bin Ladin, Saddam, and good ole Kadaffie are all at Camp David playing poker with George W making millions, while Robot Bush is off running the country.
Call it what you will but WAR is WAR

If I was to imprison you for your beliefs right or wrong I would treat you like a human not a dog. Have you ever knelt on you knees for a long period of time? Have you deprived yourself of any of your senses for a long period of time? The middle ages end long ago. Remember what you take by force you must keep by force.

Yes I am it is hard not to be when your a Canadian, but in all honesty what happened in the Terror attacks of 9/11/01 is horrible and in no way do I condone it. Yet declaring War and capturing prisoners makes these men POWs and rightly should be treated that way. If you want to change the rules of war then be prepared to defend yourself from all forms of attack be it land, sea, air, or written. It seems to me every time the United States does not get its way they blame someone else and blow them up, who put Saddam in power? Who put Kadaffie in power? Who put George W in power? Yikes I think he is the scariest of them all.

But the al queda network is not an armed force of a nation, they do not have uniforms, and they don't openly carry their weapons. How exactly do they fall under POWs based on the Geneva Convention, since the Geneva Convention is what is used to define POWs? They are being treated fairly. Had US soliders been captured by Taliban forces, there would be no consideration of fair treatment or POW status based on the Geneva Convention.

The word WAR may have been mentioned but was never declared...to avoid splitting hairs lets agree that we did (even though we didn't)...Name me one thing that the US ddi to violate the Geneva Convention..if anything they are treated too nice.
****It seems to me every time the United States does not get its way they blame someone else and blow them up****
That's real brave coming from a person who lives in a country with dudley doo-right. Canada blows the US at every chance they get because they need our protection..and industry

apparently 80% of americans love him..but that's neither here nor there because you're a canadian ie: your opinion is useless.

as much as i hate to reply to these post(mainly b\c people just argue, most due to wrong info)
Anyhow i strongly believe these people should be treated fairly, why? b\c everyone is human, therefor if u differentiate the treatment of even 1 individual u are technically discriminating against them. So how can the states claim to support human rights of the people if they don't treat even one person equally? I was really surprised by the US for allowing JW to have a civil/criminal trial, i see it as a fair start, but i doubt it will be a fair trial. Especially with Aschroft's bitching. The fact that he was not informed nor recieved his Miranda Rights during most of the 40days(i think its 40) of interrigation/questioning makes any elicitation of incriminating statements useless in a civil/criminal trial. Although i believe he openly stated (according to interrogators) that he didn't want council, however this statement was apparently made quite awhile following his arrest, leaving the question of what was said and when. So i guess since this technically isn't a "war" and there are no POW, then why is the US taking all these prisoners out of their home country, the contry where they have commited there crimes and basing there convictions on a foriegn legal system? I personnally see it as a prolonged terrorist attack by the US.
"Name me one thing that the US ddi to violate the Geneva
Article #3
"(1) Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria. To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons: "
"(a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture; (b) taking of hostages; (c) outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment; (d) the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples. "
"The application of the preceding provisions shall not affect the legal status of the Parties to the conflict. "
Not all of the prisoners believed in jihad, many joined the taliban for well practical reason(to them). When u are faced with a choice of either joining or being killed / persacuted, most chose to join. I think a similar situation is occuring in the states, remember Bush saying " if your not with us u are against us " or something similar? or what about if u use/sell/manufacture drugs u are supporting terrorism? I think this is why "80% of americans love him", what rational choice dose a citizen have ? Either be outspoken, like numerous Univ. Profs and educated people against this war, which usuallyresult in persecussion by the gov't, your employer and even friends. Check how many proffs where suspended because the showed their students what the preceding events to 911 where.

The said cards shall be forwarded as rapidly as possible and may not be delayed in any manner. "
Article 71
"Prisoners of war shall be allowed to send and receive letters and cards. "
"Prisoners of war who have been without news for a long period, or who are unable to receive news from their next of kin or to give them news by the ordinary postal route, as well as those who are at a great distance from their homes, shall be permitted to send telegrams"

****Anyhow i strongly believe these people should be treated fairly, why****
criminals are treated different from free people..
**** So how can the states claim to support human rights of the people if they don't treat even one person equally? ****
They were treated within the bounds of the geneva convention..i see NO human rights violations
****The fact that he was not informed nor recieved his Miranda Rights during most of the 40days***
Miranda doesn't mean shit outside of the united states. BTW he also waived his rights to a lawyer and talked after being tolf of these rights
****however this statement was apparently made quite awhile following his arrest, leaving the question of what was said and when. ****
If you know something we don't then feel free to tell us what happened
****"Name me one thing that the US ddi to violate the Geneva ****
Where's the violation? All this shows is me you have the ability to find out information pertaining to the Geneva convention..Don't cut and paste. answer the question. What has the US done to violate their rights under the Geneva convention..i am well aware of the rules and need not be reminded...
If you don't know i understand but spare me the cut paste argument...but at least you tried to show proof

Damn, patriotism, you gotta be fucking kidding me. I am proud to be from a country that enslaved black people, murdered millions of native americans, send asians to camps, killed thousands of innocent in global conflicts, and prolly killed more innocents in Afghanistan then the WTC. Ignorance is bliss if your a patriot ur fucking stupid. The taliban are fucking foot soliders, they did what they were told to much like the soliders in Vietnam, or Korea. I'd also like to wait about 30 years til all the truth comes out about this shit, cause our government would bullshit us and has many times in the past, recent, and will in the future. I'd also like to add that I did know people that died in the WTC, but I'm not so stupid that i bielieve everything i hear on TV.

****I am proud to be from a country that enslaved black people, murdered millions of native americans****
Give me an example of a country that didn't do this in their past....i'll be waiting for your enlightened answer..Case in point look up Africa and Englands history towards slaves...
****and prolly killed more innocents in Afghanistan then the WTC. ***
You have no proof so why bring it up?
****Ignorance is bliss if your a patriot ur fucking stupid****
Wow that sentance almost made sense...stay in school pal
****The taliban are fucking foot soliders, they did what they were told to much like the soliders in Vietnam, or Korea. ****
I thought they were innocents? Look in the geneva convention as to what makes a soldier.
****. I'd also like to wait about 30 years til all the truth comes out about this shit, cause our government would bullshit us and has many times in the past, recent, and will in the future. ****
Boy are you bitter..ha ha..you'll get no argument from me as to how scummy the government can be....
****I'd also like to add that I did know people that died in the WTC, but I'm not so stupid that i bielieve everything i hear on TV.***
I believe you, your not stupid...just a moron.
Have a nice day little guy

Secular democracy good, theocratic fascism bad.
I am proud to be from a country that was able to overcome such horrible institutions as slavery. We had to fight a bloody war to do it, and it was worth it. Go throw your bags of guilt at someone else, say, the current slavers of the world.
Seriously, compare individual freedoms of anyone, citizen or otherwise, living in the USA against people living anywhere else. Where else could a black son of immigrants end up as one of the highest elected officials in the nation? According to Tony Blair, not even in our good friend England.
When you hold the history of a group of people against their current members, that is racism. This is the same thing that keeps Africa, the Balkans, and the Middle East in flames.
Lucky for you, you live in a nice western democracy so you can hurl whatever epithets you like. People like me guard you while you sleep.

Who cares what rights we have, more important is what rights we DONT have.
I think all governments are just as fucked up as the US, but not more so. Patriotism is stupid, no matter what country your from, cause every government is built on the same bullshit concept, of people cannot be trusted. I agree thou, and the people we should watch out for is the ones that rule us.

Yeah 1 outta 1,000,000. Blacks are held down by struggles in the community drugs, violence, and crime in general. Lets also discuss how bullshit our drug policies are. A person gets addicted to heroine, he gets arrested and put on probation. He's addicted, so of course he will do it again, and thus get locked up for a year. Gets out gets busted again gets more time. This is a reality that happens every day. You say all the good about this country, how about how many people in prisons we have? How raciest our law system is. Assuming recent incarceration rates remain unchanged, an
estimated 1 of every 20 Americans (5%) can be expected to serve
time in prison during their lifetime. For African-American men,
the number is greater than 1 in 4 (28.5%).
What about the police problems. Cops get away with murder, selling and stealing drugs, illegal searches, generally fucking people. Or how over 80% of the stuff they confiscate is owned by someone that has never been conficated, let alone commit the crime.
America is bought and sold and its the poor guy that gets fucked by the rich, corporations that can do whatever the fuck they want cause they the Republican and the Democrate parties are on there payroll.
How the fuck is this a great country? Our country is extremely fucked up, but so is everywere else. Fuck all governments, This is why i say patriotism is bullshit, among other things.
