maybe this should be in politics, i wazzant sure. holder's name came up this morning with mention of the ksm trial in nyc. rep king thinks that obama pulled the idea's plug. but do people think that it's a world perception problem? then i think, how else to deal with enemy combatants. it's a facility that is world class in detention, and probably for having a trial. it all seems in perfect order to me.
It's sorta Unconstitutional.
But most conservatives never bother to read it.

Oh, they read it. They just ignore it when it suits their authoritarian purposes to do so.

It's no worse than you being to lazy to capitalize letters in your sentences or misspelling wasn't.

Well not really.
Conservative understanding of the Constitution doesn't really get past parsing of the second and tenth amendments..and applying convoluted meanings to them. When they actually do get around to reading it..they want to evisecerate it.
In any case..when President Bush was asked about water boarding..he said that "his lawyers" said it was legal..and that he was not a lawyer.
Even the slightest perusal of the Constitution would have let him know that what he did violated it.
And gitmo violates a plethora of rights granted by the Constitution.

the only enemy combatants mentioned in the constitution are britsh, with rgard to quartering. do you mean "settled law" ?

like hell it isn't...
putting people into an internment camp, without charging them with any crime or act and never trying them violates everything we pretend to stand for.
or maybe you want to ask second generation japanese-americans who were interned what's wrong with it.
Well not really.

Do you know this phrase "enemy combatants" is a relatively new phrase, dreamed up by the Bush administration as a term for getting around providing Constitutional protections to those otherwise entitled to them?

It was utilized by the Bush administration because of its location, which (they felt) enabled them to skirt the laws and regulations prohibiting torture as well as various Constitutional guarantees, such as speedy trial and right to counsel.
You weren't aware of this?
Well not really.
