Obama wanted to try Bin Laden. "But, frankly, my belief was if we had captured him, that I would be in a pretty strong position, politically, here, to argue that displaying due process and rule of law would be our best weapon...

Japanese American Internment And Gitmo Detainees

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 30 Oct 09

Once a violation of the Constitution is allowed then violations become easier and easier. Take for instance the internment of Japanese Americans by FDR in 1942, which is 100% violation of the Constitution. To make matters worse in...

Could a Gitmo closure supporter please explain how this is any better?

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 14 May 09

One of the first things Obama loudly proclaimed was that Guantanamo Bay will be closed. Well, that now opened a nice can of worms for him. Nobody wants those detainees. None of the US states wants them, definitely not living as...

Where is the Plan???

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 5 May 09

It seems that President Obama is having problems with Democrats who want to see a plan for closing Gitmo and telling them what he is going to do with the prisoners. David Obey, who voted for the stimulus plan without reading it,...

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 1 May 09

With all the drugs we have at our disposal, why not give those guys sodium pentathol or another "truth serum"? Why the need to physically make them suffer? I have no sympathies for terrorists but I do think we're at the point in...

Fortunata @Fortunata (1135) • United States 27 Mar 09

Gitmo prisoners may be released in this country, and given welfare? What next? When I first saw these two articles, I thought it was satire. This kind of 'hope' and 'change' stinks, in my opinion. Maybe they'll be given...

The Masses React the Way the Incompetent Press Tells them to

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 24 Mar 09

In sociology classes, I learned that individuals are hard to manipulate and guide to a predetermined conclusion, but crowds are easy. The more people in the manipulated group, the easier it is to guide the conclusion. I laughed...

The incompetent press made huge headlines from Prs. Obama's order to the Defense Department to come up with plans to close the terrorist detainment camp. What they didn't report is that Prs. Obama also ordered an in-depth study of...

What are we going to do with Gitmo prisoners when Gitmo is shut down?

Fortunata @Fortunata (1135) • United States 22 Jan 09

I really hope they're not going to be mixed in with U.S. prisoners over here. They will be busy indoctrinating U.S. prisoners, which is something that I think will make things much worse for us. And aren't these prisoners getting...
