Guantanamo To Close

[Strauss]

And you think that is right if you havent done anything wrong, do you?

Oh, you want perfection. Never going to happen. People get convicted of crimes they did not committed, its a flaw in a system created by men just like every other system created by men. In fact I'm sure men have been put to death who were innocent. To quote the great philosopher: "Life's a bitch then you die".

It's a weighing factor, generally and in the vast majority of cases the right person is convicted. You don't through out the system for the few who shouldn't have been convicted. (See the quote of the great philosopher.)

The fact that it affected you is the point.

I really think these comments are kind of turning my stomach.
Who knew people could be so heartless?
I'd rather have FAIRNESS for all than torturing a 'handful'.
Merry Christmas

Yeah the criminal justice system is an ugly thing to watch. Especially when one of the bleeding hearts gets one of the "oppressed" released who subsequently craves up young girls. Yup.....life's a bitch and then you die. So please define fairness for us from the view point of the victim.

That's what makes America, America. You have to proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Saddam Hussein. We accused him of having weapons of mass destruction which started a war that's killed how many people so far? He got a trial. He knew what he was charged with and he was convicted. So Saddam Hussein got justice and the people in Gitmo get tortured and have been stripped of every basic right but that's ok? I can't see it. I don't think I ever will and I think that it's about time we stop hiding behind 9/11 and terrorism and stand up for justice and what our fore fathers faught and sacrificed their lives for. Candidly, I think they'd be ashamed of the sheep like mentality that has overcome our nation.

:thumbup I think I am in love !!! >f

 

[Hoffa]

Well that's the problem, they don't have enough evidence to convict them, but they strongly suspect they are involved. They can't prove "beyond a reasonable doubt", but they're pretty dang sure they're still involved.

uke:Man ! I see what respect you have for our legal traditions, and what we would most certainly become -- if your vision were followed . >f

You're right - we should just let everyone in Guantanamo go, then watch as they bomb America yet again. :thumbup

And what legal traditions would those be?

This thread is going nowhere. This is just one of those subjects that people will never see eye to eye on.

Conservatives generally would rather sacrifice a few people in the name of Millions.
And Liberals would rather sacrifice Millions in the name of being fair to a handful.

You got it almost spot on - I made the slight correction.
