I've never heard such crap.
" Torture was so successful that even CNN reported that the terrorists divulged information after Enhanced Interrogation Techniques were used (TORTURE). Who gives a rats tail what CNN reports. TORTURE IS A WAR CRIME. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ENHANCED INTERROGATION. IT IS TORTURE.
"The Geneva conventions only apply to an army fighting in uniform and if the conflict involves nations who both signed them. "
NOT TRUE. Have you been in the military? Obviously not, because if you had, then you would know that the Geneva Conventions apply to all prisoners.
Let me give you a little quote: "Should any doubt arise as to whether persons, having committed a belligerent act and having fallen into the hands of the enemy, belong to any of the categories enumerated in Article 4, such persons shall enjoy the protection of the present Convention until such time as their status has been determined by a competent tribunal."
That means they are to be treated, and afforded, the same as a POW.
"I see no reason to even attempt at countering your Guantanamo argument because it's totally and completely irrelevant. "
OF course, it was your original irrelevant subject about Torture and Gitmo. I just showed that you don't know what you're talking about.
"In fact, its so twisted, it makes the republicans look good. You're saying that the right side of the political spectrum blocked the removal of the base within obama's promised time period. "
yes I am. They did block the removal with their scare spin cycle about bringing in "gitmo detainees"...oooh scary. Yeah and congress unfunded the transfer. That's what happened. Ever read a newspaper?
"Had his plan gone into action, Bin Laden would still be on the run. please try to use viable information when arguing. "
WTF are you talking about? Again, another nonsensical argument. Who's plan? What plan?
"Secondly, Obama was using programs that were instituted by the Bush Administration. In fact, the only thing he did was sign the order. "A pakistani military confrontation" is total bogus because they are extremely afraid of the US reprisals. We've been operating in Pakistan since 2001 and they haven't done a single thing about it except complain to the UN. Tremendous risk? Do you know anything about what Special Operators do? They aren't called "Black Ops" for giggles... "
Your in cuckoo for Cocoa-Puffs land. You wish it was that simple. Like booting up a Playstation and calling in an airstrike on a video game. ... "afraid of US reprisals?" Does that mean that the Pakistani government is afraid of US reprisals if they shoot (intentionally or not) one of our helicopters? What kind of make-up stuff is this?
