Yet ANOTHER THING to be pissed at Obama for!

[WillowTree]

I know, right. Shouldn't there be some kind of "clean hands doctrine" at work. Or is there a time limit on the atrocities they committed?

While partisan hacks and globalists are all for this, is this what we REALLY want to allow ourselves to be subjected to? Kangaroo courts in other nations?

I'm starting to believe that maybe we should divide this nation in half. Let the apologist appeasers that want to cowtow to and whimper at world opinion have half and go their ass-kissing little way.

And I would be against ANY mutual defense treaty with the fuckers.

Well, if you had said North America, I would have said, it's already been done and the folks you describe live in a part called Canada. Maybe all that's necessary is to ship them their compatriots in thought and feeling. We might even be able to get them up to 100 million population.

now there's a plan.. let's shift all the leftists up to Canada and move Israel over here.. then peace will be upon us..

Was it you or Gunny that said Fuck spain?

Why did you stop reading after you read SPAIN?

Why are you always so obtuse?

It's clear as soon as 'spain' was mentioned it's a tie in to that nonsense the spanish gov threw out, about trying to indict us officials.

Part two is, a lot of you don't seem to understand, the US military (of which the Marines at camp X ray are a part of) CANNOT and WILLNOT take part in breaking regulations or the law, no 'order' could compell them to do so, and ANYONE who has served knows that such a thing could NEVER be kept secret. You'd have dozens of guys getting that info out if it happened.

A lot of people today aern't even aware that Abu graib was not exposed by some reporter, the Army itself had gotten wind of it and moved to do something about it, long before it hit the papers.

Can US officials be indicted by an international court? We seem to think other countries leaders can be held accountable for war crimes. Are you afraid of the rest of the worlds verdict of Bush? I would have the same verdict for his entire administration. Not just impeachment, but prison time.

No, the pictures from their cameraphones were all over the internet/world when the military realized they couldn't hide it.

again showing what a fucking moron you are

 

[DiveCon]

yeah, as to the OP, alternet, PALEEZE
let me go find a counter story on newsmax

 

[007]

I'll wait to see an account and confirmed report from someone other than a known partisan hack 'reporter'

i would trust alternet and other indie media outlets way more then partisan bias pushed on msm media such as the far right leaning fox news and left leaning msnbc

"I" should be capitalized, and it's "more THAN, not more THEN."

And fuck spain. They're such a scared shitless bunch of spineless yellow bellies, they'll do and say anything to appease the terrorists.

No they cannot be so indicted leagally.

All such tribunals are illeagal, including the Nuremberg one that is so famous.

If nations are to submit to a world court, they must do so in writing beforehand and only then would it be leagal. It is not under international law.

That is why i laugh when people say Kissinger is affraid to go to Europe, if he was arrested the country doing it would in fact be committing an act of war against the USA and would be handing the USA a Casus Belli.

We wouldn't have this problem with the Gitmo detainees if we had of taken no prisoners. Serves us right.

Little Known Military Thug Squad Still Brutalizing Prisoners at Gitmo Under Obama

As the Obama administration continues to fight the release of some 2,000 photos that graphically document U.S. military abuse of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan, an ongoing Spanish investigation is adding harrowing details to the ever-emerging portrait of the torture inside and outside Guantánamo. Among them: "blows to [the] testicles;" "detention underground in total darkness for three weeks with deprivation of food and sleep;" being "inoculated … through injection with 'a disease for dog cysts;'" the smearing of feces on prisoners; and waterboarding. The torture, according to the Spanish investigation, all occurred "under the authority of American military personnel" and was sometimes conducted in the presence of medical professionals.

More significantly, however, the investigation could for the first time place an intense focus on a notorious, but seldom discussed, thug squad deployed by the U.S. military to retaliate with excessive violence to the slightest resistance by prisoners at Guantánamo.

The force is officially known as the the Immediate Reaction Force or Emergency Reaction Force, but inside the walls of Guantánamo, it is known to the prisoners as the Extreme Repression Force. Despite President Barack Obama's publicized pledge to close the prison camp and end torture -- and analysis from human rights lawyers who call these forces' actions illegal -- IRFs remain very much active at Guantánamo.

SWEET Douschbaggery and general anti-Americanism...

Of course the girls are just pissed that the HOPE FOR CHANGE was a scam which they gobbled up like it was free draft night down at the fashionably sensitive 'bar'...

OH that's easy... it's due to a distinct lack of options... If she states a clear and unambiguous argument, Bobo has learned that she doesn't last more than one post... So it's a defense mechanism...

 

[Harry Dresden]

Ha ha ha, 'serious Spanish investigation..'

At that line, I stopped reading.

But yesterday some right winger posted an anti obama article from Russia.

Cherry pickers.
