The State, it is the coldest of cold monsters!!

[mizzoulibertarian]

there was a much easier way to stop terrorism. just don't let muslim in the US. but dumbass bush wanted a never ending B.S. war on terror

[MickBelcker]

What about the victims of terrorism? What about their human rights you shrivelled old smelly cunt? I hope al queda rapes your ass and cuts your fucking head off you stupid douchebag

America is very good at bombing the shit out of poor Middle Eastern civilians that have about three rusty missiles from 30 years ago and a crate of AK-47s with which to defend themselves. Fighting a country such as North Korea, which might well have weapons of mass destruction, is a little bit riskier, that's why USA lost the Korean war.

riz fascinating as allways, about this i have the stong notion torture as an institution is underestimated. The real level of torture 8 years ago was quite as horrible, altho it was less in the open even. I don't get how mary robinson would not know this. I do agree with her that the danger in the trend is great tho. Its a difference wether the western nations at least verbally denounce torture or promote it.

The war on terror only made terrorism stronger and freedom, hope, and peace weaker. By our country slaughtering the masses, both good and evil, innocents and sinners, we have only added to the pain and sufferring felt throughout the world. Our desires for revenge were petty and something a 5 year old would desire. We succumbed to petty prejudices and hatred, all for a pointless cause to invade countries that meant us no harm.Terrorists have no nation, no allies.They exist everywhere fear thrives

Is Bush going to be charged for War Crimes now according to the Geneva Laws? Nope... So why are we discussing this? Heinous crimes indeed Ms. Robinson....unfortunately no enforcement.... Talking heads.......(sighs.)

[ozzie786]

The thing about the war on terror is that it's complete bullshit. It's a war without a end which was very convenient for the Bush Administration, gave them free reign to do whatever it is they were doing over there in the MiddleEast. You'll never win the war on terror because you'll never stop people from becoming terrorists. It was a terrorist group that sparked World War 1 when they assassinated the heir to the Austrian-Hungary empire Archduke

Ferdinand.

So where were all you bleeding hearts last week when the Taliban proudly beheaded that polish UN worker and posted the video on the internet???

[blackxavior]

i love how this number keeps getting multiolyed and NO one has any proof to back it up.

In 10years we will have killed 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000

The odd thing is that the rest of the World could see what Bush's Cabal was doing to the USA,but the American People refused to believe that thier Government would Murder thier Own Citzens and many still won't believe it. Obama ain't no Black Jesus he's as OWNED by the Israeli Lobby as Most of the USA Politicans.If I were an American the Only Men I would Vote for is Ron Paul,Dennis Kurchinch or Bob Barr They still put the Constitution before Politics and BEST represent the American People.

[xFENRISx]

A "war on terror" is an oxymoron, and can never be won. It's a war on US! On our civil liberties and freedoms.

[thenewsfarm]

War on terror hurts human rights just as human rights hurts the war on terror

[bdyan1]

what do u expect from fux

[maynecuffs]

When speaking about Guantanamo Bay and suspected terrorists, you're talking exclusively about the child executioners who practice islam. Im sorry if I don't take this "High-Level panel" seriously. Who says they're a "high-level" panel. I'm a "high-level" chocolate enthusiast. It's all a bunch of crap, I hate the human race.

[justjeshb]

We finally found an optimist on YouTube! :-)

[maynecuffs]

It's not "international law" when the "national" part only refers to those state sponsored entities who feel like following it do. When fighting head choppers, the rules change. Just go to the battlefield and see if they would even think of applying any type of "rule of law" that so much as keeps you alive, let alone gives you three hots and a cot. Geneva baaahaha, get outta here.

[JamboyStu]

Good report.

Happy to see Guantanamo Bay close down. I just hope that all the secret prisons that harbour "suspected terrorists" close in the same way.

[maynecuffs]

So did they do a study on what sort of human rights are practiced by the religion of peace?

[JamboyStu]

i didn't mention religion
