Don't want them "tortured?" Fine, then let the soldiers kill all of them on the battlefield instead of capturing them. Maybe the libs will finally stop whining!
Not defending terrorist only defending laws and principals...

Hats off to him for being honest and non-dogmatic about it.

Do you care to step up to the plate to experience the difference between first and second degree murder?

A deeply divided Supreme Court yesterday ruled that terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay have a right to seek their release in federal court, delivering a historic rebuke to the Bush administration and Congress for policies that the majority said compromised, in the name of national security, the Constitution's guarantee of liberty.

"The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for a five-member majority clearly impatient that some prisoners have been held for six years without a hearing.

Yes, we've been all through this already, I AGAIN, know where the Supreme court ruled on their DETAINMENT, (odd that Obama now support Bush on the issue) the topic is ILLEGAL "TORTURE", Waterboarding, not the detainment..

You've jumped from The US Constitution, to the Geneva Convention, and everywhere in between to talk about WATERBOARDING, and you list a Supreme Court case that has NOTHING to do with Waterboarding..

Fact under the law waterboarding is NOT considered torture.

Ask Eric Holder, he cannot find it in the law books and he is the fake attorney general.

Wow, we waterboarded 3 terrorist and got vital info from them and the terrorist have killed 7,000 of our fellow citizens.

How many fellow Americans have been beheaded liberals?? But you have not said a word about that have you?

Who's side is the libs on anyway?????

I saw line them all up and water board them all so we can stay safe, it is not against the law and is not considered torture by any definition of the law period.

So it is legal.

Now ask Fidel Obama why has he not worked on changing the law to outlaw waterboarding yet? Answer: Because he would use it himself if he needed to is why and you all know it.
