Again, dude, the problem is what's passing for "a battlefield" these days. That's a euphemism for "their home town". Let's say a sniper takes a shot at US forces who then surround a building. A cook from the cafeteria happens to be ending his shift and is late for dinner so he runs out of the building into the hands of US forces. They send him to GitMo as an enemy combatant captured on the field of battle. What do you think his family who hasn't seen or heard from him in 2 years going to think? Sure, yours wouldn't care, but most people's would. Do you think his family and friends will be US converts or US enemies? We, as an occupier, have to be twice as moral and twice as righteous as the citizens if we ever hope to gain anything from our investment in the Middle East. And that ignores the immorality of detention without due process. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:217599 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
