Further, according to the military's own documents (as investigated for a Seton Hall University study), 55% of the the prisoners are not alleged to have committed any hostile acts against the U.S., and 40% are not accused of affiliation with al-Qa'ida. More importantly, only 8% of them are even <I>accused</I> of fighting for any terrorist group and 86% (nearly nine out of ten of the prisoners) were captured by the Northern Alliance or Pakistani authorities at a time when the U.S. was offering large bounties for the capture of suspected "terrorists." Specious?

The factual ...And you know this *how*, Drydock...? The factual reports (as opposed to the "official governmental" ones) are telling us that they have known virtually since the beginning that many, if not most, of those being held <I>without charges</I> are not even possibly implicated as having anything to do with politics at all. Their arrests were just part of the dog and pony show to sell a war to a bunch of folks who bought the hype because they wanted to. What part of "what goes around, comes around" don't you believe?<BR/><BR/>The U.S. government (and the U.S. population who continues to allow it to run amuck internationally on our nickel) has now convinced the rest of the world that we are dangerous asshats who deserve whatever horrible outcome is ultimately delivered to us. Doesn't seem like a good foreign policy to me. And definitely not in the best interests of our security--national or otherwise.changeseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350201531677548579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645996.post-1152428294866996772006-07-09T01:58:00.000-05:002006-07-09T01:58:00.000-05:00While the torture and abuse at Guatanamo Bay is di...While the torture and abuse at Guatanamo Bay is disgusting, not all of the prisoners there should be released. Some of the prisoners are no doubt Islamist fascists, who have been involved mass murder themselves. It's absurd that to call for their release when they will immediately be involved again in killing Christian, Jews, Hindus, and other "apostate" Muslims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16645996.post-1152375715852444092006-07-08T11:21:00.000-05:002006-07-08T11:21:00.000-05:00Thank you, one and all, for the warm thoughts and ...Thank you, one and all, for the warm thoughts and kind words.
