And thousands of people still languish in a limbo, deprived of one of common law's oldest rights, habeas corpus, the right to know why you are imprisoned.
"If you, God forbid, are an innocent Afghan who gets sold down the river by some warlord rival, you can end up at Bagram and you have absolutely no way of clearing your name," said John Sifton of Human Rights Watch in New York. "You can't have a lawyer present evidence, or do anything organized to get yourself out of there."
The U.S. government has contended it can hold detainees until the "war on terror" ends — as it determines.
"I don't think we've gotten to the question of how long," said retired admiral John D. Hutson, former top lawyer for the U.S. Navy. "When we get up to 'forever,' I think it will be tested" in court, he said.
The Navy is planning long-term at Guantanamo. This fall it expects to open a new, $30-million maximum-security wing at its prison complex

I was talking to a military person, not so long ago, and was told of a secret bunker, under Hyde Park, London.

I was told in confidence, so don`t tell anyone..........

Apparently, it has tunnels that link it to Buckingham Palace and Westminister, and is within easy acsess to the so called gentlemans clubs that are situated in Mayfair, which are watering holes for Admirals and Generals and the like.

He told me he was a guard there for a while, and was gobsmacked of the size of it.........

I have been walking around Hyde Park, looking for disguised entrances.....found a few workmans huts and small one room buildings, but they are to far from park lane, to be of any use, if, indeed they were entrances.

Anyone know of other secrets, we should not know about.........

I would tell them not to sweat it, I grew up thinking I was on some schedule and now look at me I'm sitting around wasting my time asking yahoo questions... The point being is that it may turn out to be OK for a lot of kids. And you know COLLEGE will still be there for you if you choose that path or the "job world" will be there as well.

The fact is KIDS may have to help "settle in" and such with the new living situation, and really it may be better if some kids took the time off.....

The Pope was quoting what a saint had to say about the prophet Mohammed and has apologized recently. Should he have had to?

What do you feel about the slaying of the 60 year old nun in Somalia? Apparently she dedicated her life to the children of that country. Would shooting her in the back and chest 6 times really be hurting your own country? Apparantly it took a while for her to die....even if it was a statement about the pope, did she deserve to die like a criminal?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended the pope on Saturday, telling the mass-circulation Bild newspaper that the pontiff had merely been calling for dialogue with other religions.

"Whoever criticizes the pope misunderstood the aim of his speech," Merkel was quoted as saying, according to Reuters.

"It was an invitation to dialogue between religions and the pope expressedly spoke in favor of this dialogue ... What Benedict XVI emphasized was a decisive and uncompromising renunciation of all forms of violence in the name of religion."

Is al_Qaida also calling for dialog?

Muslims bomb Americans, Muslims bomb Londoners, Muslims bomb Spanish, Muslims kill each other, Muslims slaughter thousands in Sudan, Muslims declare desire to obliterate Israel. But that's ok because they are just a few extremists - WAKE UP! Muslims own your own problems.

that woman was a victim of her own guilt.. she not only refused to answer ms grace's questions, but also didnt answer the questions that the police asked her about the knowledge she had about the whereabouts of her child..

when she was a prosecuting attorney in georgia, nancy grace NEVER lost a case.. she has a 100% conviction record.. she does her job and she does it well..

if i was in trouble, nancy grace is the last person id want to see sitting at the prosecuters table..

Just heard it on news. It happened in Somalia.
Surely this behaviour by some Muslims is far worse than the Pope exercising his right to free speech?

Of those mothers who oppose the new healthy meals that are being served in schools, dismissing them as 'rubbish', and are instead taking orders from students through their school gate and passing them food from the local takeaway? What are your thoughts/ opinions on this?

isn't it amazing that a remark that the pope
made can cause such a turmoil all he did was
repeat a passage from a historic writting and
he's expected to make an apology for it ...
the Arab nation needs to look at things in context...or grow up..
