Admiral: Gitmo suicides an act of 'warfare'

I can't believe people are bitching about Gitmo... this is just some of the shit the guys in Camp 1 get:

"Camp 1 prisoners have generally been deemed cooperative and are allowed certain amenities not available to some prisoners, such as prayer rugs, canvas sneakers, toiletries, flip-flops, cotton underwear, shorts, trousers and a shirt, the military says"

Sounds like a pretty comfortable place to live... they no longer have to live in caves, and worry about being blown up... lol

ouch. maybe it is good I stay out of this section, because that line you have written there Kramer angers me.

Shit Brains, let it fly...Nothing wrong with a different opinion, sucks worse when you don't say what you have to say...Why does that anger you..?

you're right Ayhja.

problem is that some of them were living a happy life with their families until they got flown out to "Gitmo" without being charged. Talking of Guantanamo Bay as being a "pretty comfortable place to live in" just is talking out of your arse. Never mind the second part about the caves. Not all who went in were "terrorists" too...

... maybe all who come out are, but that is another story.

I'm sure our troops are treated far better after being captured by the enemy.lol At Gitmo you get checkers and chess, prayer rugs, slippers and etc. In the middle East, our troops can look forward to getting their heads handed to them on video for the entire world to see. Where's the outrage for our troops, Brains? You want to waste our time by crying for the enemy without any compassion for the men and women fighting for your right to complain about the job their doing.

Yeah, I've never heard of an American getting a Bible... not in Vietnam... not in Iraq... Yet the prisoners in Gitmo are given a Qur'an. The guys in Camp 1 are given prayer rugs... We're treating them a lot better than they're treating us. The guys who tortured the prisoners in Iraq were court-martialled...

Americans have alway's been treated like shit. Hell, Jane Fonda has even treated them like shit. But at the end of the day, the only thing you hear about is the mistreatment of a Terrorist who was trying to kill thousands of people,what a joke.

As I understand it quite a bit of them are detained for "unspecified reasons". It's a helluva lot easier to see this in terms of cowboys and indians, but it's not like that.
Lot more grey here than black or white. I don't think they were living "happy" lives, not in the sense you fine folk might define 'happy'. On the other hand, we can't say they were "living in caves" before, because we really don't know that. Most people became concerned about this issue after the US insited these were not POWs, thus keeping them in some sort of limbo, neither here, nor there, just...in.

QUOTEThe Bush administration has declared the prisoners to be "enemy combatants," but does not consider them prisoners of war who must be accorded the rights spelled out by the Geneva Conventions.

But detention without charges runs counter to established human-rights law, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2004 that prisoners could challenge their detention in U.S. courts.

From what i'm reading in this article, they seem to be acknowledging the fact that they don't even know who is or isn't and who did what or didn't. Guantanamo is like a wartime attic.

I just wonder how long there people are going to be there? Are they going to hold a trial for all of them? That would take decades. Keep the ones who you have strong evidence is an actual prisoner of war and let those "enemy combatants" go. If you have no proof then don't hold them

The cave comment was a joke. Didn't you see the "lol" at the end. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
