The fact that America sees itself able to fetch someone from a foreign country with its OWN LAW system and put that poor guy into americas "law system" i.e guantanamo bay mustn't be accepted without a word of protest. ... Fck American politicians and americas greedy system .

never, Americans dont care about government. They cant even read the Constitution and understand it, let alone know when its being taken advantage of. Sad but true!

so a handful of terrorists is enough for american to scrap their rights as given to them by the founding fathers. please the most important thing is not to change , america has surrendered itself to banks,special-interest groups and neo-cons.

Restore America - On 911 America was blindsided (Out of the Blue). As you know we have since went INTO THE BLACK. Our Constitution and way of life is Compromised and YOU have since been stripped of many of your Guaranteed Rights including the writ of Habeas Corpus.
