Why were you quoting from the Quran to support your viewpoint?

Satire, satire. Sigh.

Bugger it, let's do away with any sort of criminal justice system, presumtion of innocence and human rights and head straight into a police state ... wait a minute isn't that how the enemy wants things?

If they're guilty they'd get found guilty in a court of law - the punishment part is debatable (Death/life whatever) and if state secrets are the issue then I'm sure there is a way round it.

Guildford four anyone ...

A lot of prisoners in XRay were (allegedly) captured after direct fights like one in Tora Bora.

Add to this that a lot of them were "captured" after the US posted substantial rewards for anyone handing over members of Al-Aquaida(sp?) and didnt bother checking too closely just who is was they were dragging of to Cuba.

Human Rights lawyers have strong evidence that a substantial number of detainees are simply those who were unlucky enough to be "denounced" by their neighbours in return for the reward money and have no connection to Al-Quaida or any other terrorist organisation.

Most certainly - murky times like this are ideal for settling accounts and making some money.

Simple matter of fact is that despite having so many people tortured there for years no results were achieved whatsoever - Osama is still a large and amazingly US troops were cut in Afganistan.

The kind of damage XRay did to American ideals in particular and democracy in general is just WAY too high. And lets not forget here - Americans won their freedom by not exactly engaging the British in open fight with uniforms clearly marked. People have implicit right to defend their country by any means necessary and if the occupier does not like it then it should not be occupying the country in the first place.
