Don't people understand that we need secret military courts or else we'll never be able to convict these terrorists. All the information they gave us will be inadmissible in a normal court because we tortured it out of them. And without "heresay" being admissible their defense lawyers will tear us to shreds. And if we don't have to even show them the evidence against them we can just say it's really, really secret and then make stuff up.
Do you want these people convicted or not? And don't go throwing the Bill of Rights or the Geneva Convention or the Supreme Court in Bush's face - those things are for "enemies of freedom".

Would you like to be imprisoned, tortured, be stripped of your miranda rights, merely on suspicion, for whatever reason? No.
Why not throw the Bill of Rights, the Geneva Convention, or the Supreme Court in Bush's face? When any of those are compromised, we give the enemy a solid case with which to hang us. It gives the enemy motive to try something so horrific, that it will make 9/11 look like child's play.

Because I swore an oath to defend the Constitution and the laws of this county against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I'm sorry if you don't want the Constitution or the Supreme Court thrown in your face or Bush's. I'm sorry if you don't respect the laws, and that you want to abandon and discard everything that this country was founded upon. That's very sad for you.
We are a nation of laws. And that means we can't go around breaking them. Not if we have any claim to be better than the terrorists that we claim to oppose.
You want to throw out the Constitution. So does Bush. Fine. But that doesn't make either of you any better than the enemies of freedom that you claim to hate, but seem to only want to serve.

Bush threw Americans into a war on terror, disregarding the well being of US soldiers,, he invaded a sovereign country, attempted to connect Saddam to 9-11,, then later admitted he lied about the WMD, about the Iraqi connection to the attacks on the WTC,, now he wants to tweak military rules of torture compromising our troops further,, who is the enemy of freedom here,,,
the US will have to let the secret prisoners go,, or he and his team will face war crimes... unless he can convince the top Republicans to change their opinions about their morals and their conscience.

How about human rights bub, ever hear of such a thing. When we stoop low enough to become them, which Bush has done the the enemy wins. Not the battle but the whole war, I wonder how come stupid repuke's can't see that.

I think that some of these people on Yahoo are foreign terrorists. Either that, or they are very stupid Americans.
Has anyone noticed that these people who care so much about the welfare of terrorists in prison, never complain about the be-headings?
They don't complain about 9/11. They just make up conspiracy lies about it.
Are these people who hate America terrorists, or are they liberals? It would be cool to know.

Do you know who these people you talk about are or are you just listening to our media? I would hate for you to be on my side, you convict without any knowledge. Maybe Bush has a job for you..

I don't believe that they should just be convicted, but they should have to suffer for their crimes. Since their crimes are not just with our military like a "normal" war. There should be stricter punishment for the multitude of murder they do to the innocent.
