Justice Denied: Voices from Guantanamo

One quibble with this video: the narrator keeps calling them "detainees", when the correct term is "prisoners". The reason the Bush Administration started calling them "detainees" is so all the rules about the treatment of prisoners didn't appear to apply. And I'm sad to say the Obama administration seems determined to continue the practice.

This acceptance that human rights and liberties can be traded is why Guantanamo bay has been allowed to exist.
Human rights arent a bargaining tool theyre a measure of our humanity and the dignity of our species.

Your life was put on the line for the benefit of capital and US hegemony, whatever your conscious intent. While you might not "linger" on some government social programs, you certainly benefit from them. I assume you use roads, for example? I assume if you are a vet that you take advantage of health care, educational benefits and other government social programs that are only for members of the imperial military forces.

A terrorist country like the US invites terrorist responses. How many innocents has the Airborne 75th killed in the last decade? As long as the US, with its many hundreds of military & espionage installations all around the world, continues to seek, promote, fund and supply war & insurrection in every part of the globe, US civilians will be at risk. If you are in the military yourself, you are a "legal" target of those you wage war against. Not all the killing in your wars is overseas anymore.

He didn't take a course in Muslim/Christian relations. He submitted himself to an ignorant bigot to be brainwashed with disinformation on Islam. You haven't done any research on this topic; you've gone hunting for someone who will tell you that your hate and racism are good Christian responses to the decline of US political power abroad and white supremacy at home. I'll bet you also have "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" on your bookshelf.

Didn't he mainly convert by magic tricks?

Flying Servant of US Empire Airborne75th. Can you provide the Qur'anic & Hadithic dalil on which you base your interpretation of the Qur'an? Which tafsir have you used? Or do you actually know anything at all about Islam? You certainly don't remember, or perhaps never understood, Benedict XVI's Regensburg lecture, including the notorious quotation from one of the last emperors of Byzantium (and Benedict's own quote from the Qur'an about there being no compulsion in religion).

other people's lives and humanity aren't yours to trade, friend. the "bottom line" you would like to draw on the bodies of these innocent men reflects your commitment to US hegemony and militaristic violence around the world. you aren't a revolutionary, despite your nickname; you're a reactionary member of the lumpenproletariat more interested in the spoils of empire than shared humanity. i guess that makes you a rightist "christian" as well.

@revolutionstrtr
the bottom line is if you were a real patriot you would give something of yourself, not of someone else... you aren't a patriot, you are pathetic

@revolutionstrtr
I suppose that's the similar thing that muslims around the world think.
