The argument, since you clearly have the attention span of a gnat with ADD, is over the claim that every single person imprisoned at Guantanamo is a terrorist or guilty of some sort of violent action against the U.S. Those articles clearly refute that, as do the actions of the Pentagon in offering them release whether or not they have some place to go. Several years late, mind you... You better check your own attention span since you're conflating "cleared for release" with the circumstances of theri capture. Oh, so now you're saying the Pentagon is irresponsibly releasing clearing them for release? In case you haven't heard, several sent back from Gitmo have been captured again or killed in attacks against us. Cites, please. And even if true, might it not be the case that being held for years under the conditions imposed would be even to **** anyone off enough to take up arms? By the way, are you now taking up the cause of China in calling the 22 Uighur secessionists terrorists? Head out of ass, please. You first. |

You can find articles from last spring (as I said) with five seconds of effort on Google. Wikipedia quotes one: "More than a fifth of the approximately 385 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been cleared for release but may have to wait months or years for their freedom because U.S. officials are finding it increasingly difficult to line up places to send them..." (Source: 82 Inmates Cleared but Still Held at Guantanamo, by Craig Whitlock, Washington Post, April 29, 2007.) That's a nice Washington Post cite, but I asked for one that shows that the Pentagon has admitted that it's holding innocent men at Gitmo. RTFA. While I realize you don't believe anything that didn't come straight from the asses of Faux News, I'm not going to do your research for you. |

u: "John Mazor" wrote Addicts whose only crime was possession (and maybe a count of petty larceny) got the book thrown at them, If it was my house they robbed to feed their habit you're darn tootin the book should be thrown at them! as if that would help them While locked up they would not be able to rob my place. Eventually they'd get the idea that stealing is a bad idea. Too simplistic? Well, the first is true, the second is pretty unlikely.. Bertie |

get the idea that stealing is a bad idea. Too simplistic? Makes sense to me -- but I'd take it further. How's this for criminal justice?: Can we all agree that anyone convicted of four (4) felony crimes isn't getting the message? Or maybe three? Perhaps five? I don't really care where the threshold is set -- but it needs to be set. Sentences double after each felony. Thus, if you're dumb enough to commit the same crime twice, your 5 year sentence becomes 10 years. Third time? It's 20. Do it again? Anyone convicted of four felonies is executed. Call it four strikes and you're out. Recidivism is a terrible problem in our society. The majority of criminals in federal prisons aren't there for the first time. Studies have shown that the majority of serious crimes are being committed by repeat offenders. We can quibble about the details, but I think this simple set of rules would make our streets a lot safer, and solve prison over-crowding at the same time. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
