My main objection is the awful precedent set by trying prisoners of war here in America. beckstcw Send a noteboard - 24/11/2009 02:57:13 AM
I am not being "scared into compromising my principles". If we declared them POWs and held them indefinitely in a prison camp, would that violate American principles? Once again, I'm gonna ask: Are you really willing to deliberately damage our warfighting capabilities in hopes of making a good impression on the world?

It's a terrible precedent no matter how you look at it. Tom - 20/11/2009 02:13:46 AM 542 Views

It would help if you would offer any argument in favour of your stance. Legolas - 20/11/2009 08:43:08 PM 439 Views
I only use the word army cause I can't think of a better one beckstcw - 21/11/2009 04:32:01 AM 455 Views

Looks like we'll get a Not Guilty plea, and a defense focusing on condeming US foreign policy beckstcw - 23/11/2009 12:36:47 AM 675 Views
They'll publicly accuse us of tyranny and brutality in front of a jury and without our censorship. Joel - 23/11/2009 08:27:13 AM 577 Views

No. It's about not using a horribly ineffective strategy just to send a message to terrorists. Joel - 24/11/2009 09:29:06 AM 463 Views
