These people are a mix of many people here.

1. Those men are many just fighting for their land. What would you do here.

2. Many might be part of that group mentioned responsible for 9/11, Many thing's say B.S. otherwise though.

3. Holding them indefinitely is not criminal in itself.? What did we tell the Chinese and Vietnamese for holding our troops after the Vietnam war ended in 1975.

This punk Ratner talks a lot of good-sounding shit about torture, yet he helped his brother grease NY politicians in order to get the Atlantic Yards travesty pushed through. Michael Ratner's a real pigfucker.
