So let me understand this. Send them back to Afghanistan? So they can start killing Americans again? This is a good idea?
Captured in a village shooting at someone or planting an IED, isn't the same thing as catching a German or Japanese soldier in WW 2. There is no front. There are no places where an enemy is holding land. These people are not in uniform and not carrying any identification. Where are they from? Do you know will happen to these people if you send them back to their countries of origin? In places like Saudi Arabia or Egypt? DO you know what the Afghani security apparatus will do to them? blech. It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth to agree with Sam, but I have to on this one very well defined point. We are doing far more than we are required to by international law, and far more than they could expect from their own countries or Afghanistan. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Ketsdever [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 7:17 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: speaking of Maybe you should join them Sam, after all its sounds like lots of fun living it up in the Caribbean. If they were captured on the battlefield they deserve the protection of the Geneva Convention and to be treated accordingly. Upon the end of the war they can be released to their country of origin or to the country where they were captured. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 4:08 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: speaking of Didn't someone, maybe Tim address this already? Most of the prisoners in Club Gitmo were captured on the battlefield shooting at our troops while posing as civilians. The only way to bring charges against them is to have our troops brought back to testify against them. If we let them go they'll just attack us again, so we keep them there until the war is over and then we release them. Meanwhile they get to live it up in the Caribbean. :) On 7/11/05, Dana wrote: > mmmm I don't feel comfortable imprisoning someone indefinitely without > due process, period, without reference to retaliation... > > Dana ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Captivate from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=52 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:164341 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
