  • This is USA real Human right !

  • 01:39 A patriot is what?

    What did our troops really do if it wasn't more for feeling accepted, as part of the in-crowd?

    I am saying something different; I guess I am in for a "Hell of a fight."

    I do welcome it. War is stupid as stupid does.

    War is a richman's chess game and nothing more than this what it is.

  • How could we possible be on the same moral level as the insurgents? They're fighting in self-defense and we're fighting in aggression.

  • If I were caught knocking over a liquor store, banging an underaged girl, or jaywalking, I would have to pay for my crime. I would get nowhere saying to the prosecutor, the judge, or the jury, "Well, this should be a time of reflection, not of retribution," or that other one, "We should look forward, not backward."

    How far would this get me? How far would this get you?

    So why should it get those who broke the torture laws any further? Are there two standards of justice after all?

  • i dont see how they get no trial its wrong.If they are found guilty hang em by the balls

  • We MUST prosecute all war crimes... Others and our own! I am a veteran and I remember how valuable my Geneva Conventions ID card was to me... always held the hope that it might make some type of difference if we were at the mercy of our enemy. If we as a country do not honor our commitments publicly there is NO reason to hope any of our enemy's might do so... This is not only for our dignity, but especially for our active duty troops. Even a long shot at fair treatment is better than no chance.

  • Great video. Keep spreading the word!
