We've been through this before.Rules of war only apply in a war. A group of people with no association to any state that want to blow things up is, fundamentally, a criminal organisation, similar to the mafia. Your talk about releasing them "when the conflict is over" is ignorant and best and sheer propaganda at worst. The "conflict" is between us and an ever-changing bunch of private individuals who don't like us— the "conflict" will never be over. This is not a "war" that will be over in a few years with a negotiated peace treaty. Your talk about the US acting in a "humane and responsible" manner is equally somewhere between ignorant and propaganda. I'd love to hear how you consider the worst and most capricious torture "humane and responsible," especially after some 100-odd people have died as a direct result of it. And for the record, JFK airport is not a "battlefield." You might also want to explain how a busy NYC airport is a "battlefield" and a Canadian on his way home from vacation is an "enemy combatant." This is not the America you're used to, Lion, and no amount of denial is going to change that. |
