First you would have to assune these are PEOPLE, they are animals, And as far as keeping them in custody for years, too bad, they should have thought of that before they attacked us. Stop feeling sorry for them, they are not covered by OUR constitution.

how American of you... convict without ever levying charges or holding a trial.

The consitution was designed in part to protect the rights of the citizens of the United States. Would you agree?

You are an idiot. The AG SERVES AT THE PRESIDENTS PLEASURE NOT HIS OWN. So everything he does he has the presidents approval on, the AG cannot act on his own. Are you intentionally being stupid or were you born that way?

Most good leaders of large organizations use the concept of command by negation/intervention by exception. They do not need to approve every move that their subordinates make. THey DO allow them to act on their own nearly all the time. When they find them going astray, or heading in a direction that is against their overall strategy, then, and only then do they step in and provide overriding guidance.

It would seem that YOU are the idiot, sir... for thinking that the president does not allow the AG to run his own department without rudder orders from the White House.

Prove that the AG doesn't need approval from the president on matters that involves national secuirty.

The fact that you admitted that the AG had presidential approval kind of screws up your argument, doesn't it? But I expect as much from an idiot such as yourself.

I don't need to prove it. Everyone with an ounce of sense knows that the AG has dominion over his department until such time as he makes a move that loses him the confidence of the president.

And the fact that Obama did NOT step in to countermand the decision to try KSM in federal court certainly proves that he did find favor with that decision, but it does NOT prove your silly allegation that the AG needs Obama's PERMISSION for everything.

Are you really too fucking thick to understand that distinction, or is that just your best texas rube act?

actually... they are protected by the supreme law of the land...that, of course, being treaties we have signed that require us to treat all persons humanely.

Which treaties are those?

the UN Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, comes to mind.
