These two are enemy combatants, responsible for killing US citizens. May they rot in Hell. For pandering to them, you should consider moving to the mid-East, and leave Chiaago. You'll love the treatment of women in that part of the world, and Chicago will be blessed to be rid of you.

They were captured just recently though. The court gave them consideration.

Why would you want the US military to have to force feed the detainees trying to commit suicide?Does that help you make a point?Can't you see what you are doing? The innocent will finally be released without people like you having ever said a word. BL was captured with info. from detainees.Have a little faith that our guys are using caution for a reason.

2012-01-01T13:33:32.760-05:00

BTW... I meant "piece" and not "peace," because of course, AFG will be split up, with the Taliban handed some large portion of the place in consideration for letting us free up some troops.

Elements in the Pakistani ISI that are pals with the Taliban will not only be happy with this, they'll probably even broker the deal.

Ah, a trip down "memory-hole lane." Given the impossible situation we set up for ourselves in Afghanistan (reliance on the corrupt and unpopular local criminal and not-so-strong strongman Karzai... not a good move), the only likely way out of Afghanistan [short of the really bad optics of helicopters leaving from the embassy roof] had always been to sell out, and "make piece"

You know, Obama's record-- including, inter alia, extending tax cuts for the rich, expanding the national security state to heretofore unknown levels, upping the ante from torture to outright homicide (and not just Qaddafi and OBL, but now, as you note, AMERICAN CITIZENS... with lengthy legal memos to justify it, no less!), expanding state secrets beyond even Dick Cheney's wildest

What goes around comes around. Other countries --like Pakistan-- have drones, and more countries are acquiring them every day. What's going to happen if another country declares that one of our generals or even a head of state is a "terrorist" (maybe because civilians have died in OUR drone strikes??) -- and then decides to take Americans out? We will indeed have succeeded

You know, Candace, I confessed I cried during the reading of "the names" as part of the all 9-11 all the time hoopla we are presented to (and btw, having lived and worked in NYC for decades, it should come as no surprise that I KNEW a number of the victims MYSELF)... and I just cried again listening to Peter Gabriel sing of Steve Biko...

Geo Bush is to speak on October 20, 2011 in Vancouver (Surrey) Canada. We are mobilizing people internationally to help get him arrested and tried for war crimes.

Geo Bush was in Canada in 2009. There were huge efforts to have him arrested then.

You may know that Bush cancelled a speaking engagement in Geneva amid vociferous calls for his arrest (Feb 2011).
