It's official - The US lost the War in Iraq, Iran won. And it only cost you $1.2 TRILLION and a few thousand soldiers.
He wants terrorists coddled.
Foreign combatants in time of war have never been entitled to Habeas Corpus, but Oversmear wants freedom for terrorists.
His propaganda is all sophistry.
Limited Government Liberal is as oxymoronic as it gets.
More than 30 of the Gitmo detainees released have shown up as terrorist homicide bombers on the battlefield.
K.Oversmear wants Alqaida set free so they can kill innocent civilians and our troops again.
Oh, and averageworkinggal, please listen to Ben Franklin's quote on giving up essential liberties as many times as it takes to sink in that giving up our rights for ANY cause is NEVER "patriotic" or "American".
These military courts are for Islamonazi enemy combatants taken from the battlefield.
Any American arrested for espionage or terrorist activities is tried under the civil criminal system.
The Congress and the President did devise an effective detainee system in time of war that provided far more habeas rights than ever provided for lawful enemy combatants let alone unlawful combatants, terrorists.
Unlawful combatants, under the laws of war, can be shot on site when captured on the battlefield.
There are periodic reviews from the DoD where they can introduce new evidence and seek a subsequent CSRT review of their enemy combatant status.
Speaking of Lies: Libs claiming that they had a 9/11 mindset as in just before 9/11. It's just the cover story to attack Bush for 9/11.
They never had it before 9/11 (the Jamie Gorelick Wall to disrupt counterterrorism cooperation and the "Let's just arrest them after they kill Americans rather than confront them on the battlefield abroad" policy) and this enemy combatant hysteria propaganda.
Since you are into creating fake hyseria, as Libs always do, I assume based on your crackpot argument that you are likely be an unlawful enemy combatant since you are waging political war against America in time of war.
So I'll turn you in so that you can learn how well the DTA and MCA protected your rights to challenge your detention.
These 270 are aliens captured on foreign battlefields and adjudicated as POWs by 2004 at the latest.
They had 3 years to appeal through the DTA and sat on their rights.
