Arrests at U. S. Capitol, re: Closing Gitmo/Torture

[JesusSavesTheTargets]

Why am I the only one who acknowledges the link between the torture committed in the War on Terror, and the torture committed against American children? Folks, you need to read Claudia Mullen's ( US Citizen) testimony at the 1995 Presidential Advisory Committee Hearing on Human Radaition Experiments. The CIA has raped and tortured Americans too, and the evidence is in her testimony, as it is identical to the testimony of the terror suspects.

What morons

[ZPyroJim]

These mornons would have us invite those that killed three thousand of our fellow citizens here for a nice chat. I am sure the would have a different opinion as the terrorist killed each and everyone of them in the name of thier cause. We are becoming a weak nation becasue of people like this. OH, the difference between risking arrest and WANTING arrestted is them not applying for a permit. They should pick up a weapon and stand with our soldiers. Then say they want the terroist released.

@ZPyroJim

We have become a weak nation because of ignorant nuts like yourself. You are a hypocrite. You want freedom and justice for yourself but you do not recognize a need for freedom or justice for others?

Just as innocent people are arrested and convicted here in the US, innocent people are arrested and detained overseas. THAT is why they deserve a trial.

These people are being arrested for exercising their 1st amendment rights. If you do not have a problem with that, you are not American

[DaedalEVE]

@ZPyroJim

That doesn't mean "be kind to terrorists". What it means is PROVE THEY ARE TERRORISTS FIRST!

How would you like if I thought you were a child molester, and decided to call the police on you? They come and take you away, then hold you on the assumption that you are a child molester. You get no trial or way to prove you are not. We simply hold you, interrogate you, and keep you for as long as we want.

Doesn't sound like such a great way of doing things after all, does it?

[1World1Khilafah]

FREE THE INNOCENT MEN HELD IN GITMO!

[krisidious]

the ignorance both on screen and in these comments is rampant... oh what a sad day for education in this world...

[blogegog]

Sadly, they let most of the protesters go :(.

[allahakchew]

Side with the terrorists, nice of you people

[DaedalEVE]

@allahakchew

No, they are siding with RIGHTS. These people seem to understand what you do not... which is that ignoring the rights of POW's is the first step to ignoring the rights of citizens.

It's people like you, that think it's OK to detain people indefinitely without charge or trial, that will pave the way for the same thing to be done to you or I here at home.

It is the ignorant and short sided people like yourself that will destroy us all.

[music4dude]

well at least you guys accomplished a lot!

except you didn't.

I wish people in the middle east would stand up and sing the names of innocent americans the taliban have beheaded on camera. and sing "we remember you" ......because apparently the only ones these people care about are the ones that want us dead. Get real.

[charliebarosio]

AmeriKa like its bestest friend the apartheid entity of butchered Palestine is destined to turn on its own people, at least the ones who made it through the "edukashun" system that has bred generations of louts and rednecks for its militocratic kill machine. Now that the O Ba Ma project is collapsing and the blind see that Al Jolson in the White house couldn't care less. The platitudes drone on and the murder machine goes into overdrive. The real war has begun and the peasants are revolting!

[LuthierGod]

Great demonstration! Alot of pride here folks!

[yoyodude594]

6. We are at war they want to kill us, we do not just hand out miranda rights to every one

7. The Geneva conventions a hoax the only countries that obied by it are America and some of her allies therefor the Geneva convention should only apply if both sides are following its rules and regulations

8. These detainees could hold valuable information that could save American lives

9.If you want peace prepare for war

10. If you don't agree fine, but be respectful

11.GOD BLESS THE USA

[yoyodude594]

1. All gitmo detainees are served 3 meals a day and allowed to get adequate sleep

2. look at the photos of the detainees there they're all soaking up the sun

3. These people who "deserve" our American rights would kill you or me without a moments hesitation

4. water boarding is not torture, torture is cutting of body parts, shooting out kneecaps ( things they would do to Americans again without hesitation )

5. They are not entitled to Constitutional right unless the are American citizens

[sikovit]

WAKE UP!!!.....

How could YOU say WATERBOARDING is NOT torture!...ANYONE that has been waterboarded will DISAGREE WITH YOU!

Is sodomizing your children in front of you torture?

I agree with you on Them NOT coming to AMERICA....Because then THE American people will start being TORTURED!

[yoyodude594]

anyone who has been waterboarded should be shot for international terrorism or high treason which ever the case

[eligarf]

the terrorists are inside that building.

[LuthierGod]

You got that right!

[josievs]

My heart goes out in gratitude to these dedicated activists. May their witness spread and grow in us all.

[awo4255]

[AnonymousB2B]

[DorothyDandrich]

Congress would not vote for the money needed to close the prison at Gitmo.
