hmm...unfortunately not everybody has imaan to that perfection :( I dont think anybody would willfully do something that would injure or hurt the masses (well maybe they would :X ) but everybody has their reasons and everybody thinks THEY are right and there are no two ways about it...:skeleton: Allahu A'lam....maybe its up to us normal ppz to voice our say... *sigh*
 
How long has Hezbollah been holding the Israeli soldier captive? Who ever heard of beheading contractors with dull knives? Who ever heard of executing groups of people without trial and either burying them in shallow graves or leaving them to rot on the side of the road? Who ever heard of really any of the things we are seeing today? It is all disgusting and pointless.... This war will stop nothing, these terrorist will not stop the american political or war machine, it is pointless... The sooner people start to realize this the better we could all be, closing Gitmo solves nothing and neither does complaining about it. We are at war, people will be held as POW and that is what is happening at Gitmo and abroad

then kindly tell your ambassadors and South Asian affairs secretary Mr.Boucher to stop lecturing us about human rights.Pleasssssssssssssssssse?
we are tired of your hypocrisy.don't say they are not provided this and that because they are not citizens,enemy combatants,etc.they are lame excuses.
and since you brought Hezbollah and Israel ,let me ask how long has Israel has kept Palestinian prisoners?even innocent ones?

we Muslims have got weak leaders too.Like Musharraf who will practically handover thousands of Pakistanis branded as terrorist suspects if he is promised a thousand main battle tanks,weapon systems,aircraft,etc.

I would if I thought it would make some kind of difference

The hypocrisy runs both ways then. I am not disputing that Gitmo is probably a violation of human rights, I dont dispute that torture probably goes on, and I dont dispute Israel holding prisoners, however this is a thread about Gitmo, and people are always so ready to be fired up about it as if their own "people" or societies dont do they exact same thing. My point was to point out your blatant hypocrisy.

As far as your classification of enemy combatants and not citizens, I personally dont think they are lame, and I am sure a large number of people would agree with that. I never heard you complaining about Gitmo when Muslims werent prisoners there, then it was just a place for whoever, but now you are outraged. What would you have the US do about enemy combatants? Slice and dice them as the guerrilla fighters do, fine with me, turn about it fair play, but dont let me hear you for 1 second complaining about how that would be a violation of human rights.

yes, the mid east has weak corrupted leaders who sell their people out every day, they let their people live in poverty while they defecate on gold toilets. Why dont we start a thread about it and what is wrong with the people that they cant get it fixed.
 
How was Gitmo a solution in the first place? Prisoners of war for 5 years? Where's the American Judicial system? And shouldn't the non-American prisoners be sent home for proper justice?

It seems that we spend too little proper time examining the efficiency of Gitmo.

it wasn't.
but, many people have called for the closing of gitmo, and it's become almost a slogan - like that would solve the problem of the injustice.
but i think that closing it and shipping the prisoners to all kinds of other countries (like we already do with "extraordinary renditions") may be even worse.
