Help End the Unconstitutional Military Commissions

What a disaster, a system designed to compensate for weak cases is no system at all.

Look for 20 total prosecutions even with the new "mousetrap." Oh DOJ, what has become of you?

do not close gitmo is good

i do not want terrorists in my city

We have all been brainwashed to believe lies to instill hate within us. By making us hateful, we somehow justify injustice. We are blinded by the constant media and lies spewed to us by the government which is scientifically tuned to perfection so they can psychologically manipulate us. This is an old science and we fall for it over and over again. If we allow the government to carry out injustice abroad, it is only a matter of time before that injustice is brought home. Indeed it has already.

When I first heard the voice of Olberman this whole video lost validity.

The detainees have purposely avoided the conventions rules while on the battlefield where they were captured and now they want the protections... nice try. Unconstitutional the detainees have no constitutional protections to start with. .

Geneva conventions article 4 states..(2) Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movements, fulfil the following conditions

:[
(a) that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
(b) that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;
(c) that of carrying arms openly;
(d) that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

This is ridiculous. To make the statement "The only reason I can think of for this whole thing is provoke fear, and out of fear,we allowed worse attrocities than were comitted against us." So you are saying that to waterboard a suspected terrorist, or delay his getting out of Gitmo is WORSE than TERRORISTS FLYING PLANES IN TO THE WORLD TRADE TOWERS?
Please help me understand MORON!

We lost the moral high ground by detaining people without due process. We gave away the right to say we stood for freedom and liberty. We became just another 3rd rate totalitarian regime; no better then Saddam's Iraq. Now we have 1200 men, who even if we release all of them tomorrow, will hate America and may want to seek vengeance. What will it take to make amends? How do we separate the innocent from the guilty?

This video confirms my belief that "terrorists" are criminals that should be tried in open court. The fact that we have Guantanamo and these Military Tribunals is something that makes me ashamed. It's like the way we treated Japanese Americans in WWII. The only reason I can think of for this whole thing is provoke fear, and out of fear,we allowed worse attrocities than were comitted against us.
