He just needs a hug and turn him loose and it will be o.k. I promise, my psych 101 teacher said so. What the hell is the matter with you people?

These head in the sky rainbow liberals in charge in the end will demonstrate their total lack of maturity and experience. They think they are putting Bush Cheney on trial and that is what this is really all about. These ass clowns are willing to jeopardize the whole of Americs security for their own narcissistic reasons. It will backfire. It is an example of they don't think past the point of sticking their Johnson in the wrong place and then its too late. They are going to stick their Johnson in and when it comes out it is going to have warts friend and no clean American is going to want to go near them ever again. Kaboom.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I think it's great that we don't allow admissions through torture. To me that is progress.

But in every case, those enemy combatants were allowed review by Federal Courts.

Nice try, but you should quit while you are behind.

Let's just admit it.

Trying the detainees in criminal court, where all the dirty laundry and allegations of abuse will be made public, as well as the tactics and interrogations techiniques used by the military, is obama's way of trying the Bush administration and appeasing the Left.

Once again, another angry GOPer who makes predictions and then argues against that.

Interesting...How is providing a prisoner of war with rights "jeopardizing the whole of America's security"? I'd love to hear it.

Even without torture - prosecutors have just made stuff up....

Omar Khadr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Omar Khadr has spent seven years in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps charged with war crimes and providing support to terrorism after allegedly throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier.[2] In February 2008, the Pentagon accidentally released documents that revealed that although Khadr was present in the house, there was no other evidence that he had thrown the grenade. In fact, military officials had originally reported that another of the surviving militants had thrown the grenade just before being killed, and later rewrote their report to implicate Khadr instead.[3] Defence lawyers have also suggested that the soldier may have been killed by friendly fire by his own comrades.[4] It was later determined that Khadr had been crippled, blinded and trapped beneath rubble at the time, and American soldiers weren't even aware of his presence until one stepped on his prone body.[5]

Perhaps in your imagination this makes sense. But to most Americans, we prefer not to hold mock trials in kangaroo courts where admissions of guilt through torture is the status quo. I know the GOP love violence and seem to detest our judicial system, but they'll just have to get over it.
