All part of the George Bush Airport Police State, using the SS to do
it, in this case. 1000 arrested in the USA after 9/11, most held and never charged, 600 interned in Guantanamo Bay (15 fewer than a month ago (gee I wonder where those 15 went? slit?)). Hey, I want America safe, but I also want it FREE. Bush, Cheney and Ashcroft, no American Freedom safe from their police powers. Sorry to be political, if the Dems were doing it I'd be hollering just as loud. Wake up America!

The FAA is looking at revising its enforcement policy for pilots who bust TFRs and the Washington ADIZ. Agency officials told a recent meeting of the GA Coalition that federal security agencies are not in favor of a flexible system of enforcement that takes mitigating factors into consideration. In fact, according to EAA's account of the meeting, the Secret Service initially wanted criminal charges laid against wayward pilots. Coalition Chairman Tom Poberezny urged the FAA to adopt a uniform policy that allows remedial action, counseling and even amnesty for pilots who mistakenly enter restricted airspace. The meeting attendees were told that almost 2,800 violations have been recorded so far, about half of them in the Washington ADIZ and Camp David TFRs. http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#186022 |

For a couple of bucks (for me, that would be the charge for the articles plus the bank charges to process dollars into euros) you can have the full context. I'll offer a translation, best I can, in all cases the word translation choices are mine: (begin translation) 660 prisonsers now subsist in the high-security prison called "Camp Delta" at the Guantanamo Bay Marine base. Among them is a Turk, Murat Kurnaz, who was born and raised in Bremen (Germany). Without the chance for a trial, he waits for his release, or at least some official charge. AP Prisoners in an apparantly disenfranchised place: Camp Delta Inmates This military prison is located in Cuban jurisdiction, and is therefore outside the reach of American justice. The prisoners are charged with being "illegal combatants," which is an elegant equivocation for the total loss of justice. No inmate knows what the future holds for him. Either they receive no due process and stand to wait, rotting in prison for years to come, or they'll receive charges that could mean the death penalty. 68 of these prisoners were released in the last 18 months. Karin Assman spoke with some of them for SPIEGEL TV, and got a look at Guantanamo from the inside. (end translation) Go ahead, Spiegel, tell us how you *really* feel! I note that for a holding prison which (I'm told, and those pictures seem to show) feeds and clothes the inmates, and gives them opportunity to exercise their religion (note that those flourescent prison outfits come with *head cover*), within the constraints of the prison. Perhaps SPIEGEL TV would serve us all better by examining something like the French prison system, or that of, say, Saudi Arabia. In Saudia Arabia, I'm told, the prisoners give law enforcement a hand from time to time. Literally. And in any case, the term is "enemy combatant," and is a *correct* term for a combatant who operates against an army outside the strictures of the Geneva Convention. None of that page, of course, makes the claim that Martin made, namely that there were bounty hunters involved in collecting the enemy combatants. Presumably the allegations are made in the TV program? If so, by whom? And what would be wrong with that in a war zone? Es geht schon, Martin.

What's not to like? Did prisoners of war on either side in WW II have the right to demand trials and due process? (including prisoners from neutral nations who might have volunteered to fight on either of the sides) The current war is obviously an unusual war, but equally obviously it's a war. Does the fact that the other side's mode of fighting it falls miles outside the Geneva Convention somehow give them the right to increased, rather than perhaps reduced, protections when taken prisoner? |

So you support secret permanent detention without trial based on unknown evidence? I'm all for having a safe and secure country, but not if it means stuff like that, because giving a government infinite power like that will lead to some very bad things. |

Does the fact that the other side's mode of fighting it falls miles outside the Geneva Convention somehow give them the right to increased, rather than perhaps reduced, protections when taken prisoner? Maybe you need to factor in the absurdity that we attacked them and now expect them to fight by our rules. Somehow I don't think that approach is going to work. |
