In fact I do not have sympathy for deserters. If he is in fact a deserter he has the right to a trial, then if found guilty we can have a firing squad.
At what point in time did Americans give up their tight to be innocent until proven guilty? At what point did Americans loose their right to a trial?

So no trial is needed, right?

Top five terrorists? Who are exactly are these people? You are quick to call them "top five terrorists" yet no one seems to have any information about them at all.
These are members of the Taliban, right? Are they even terrorists?
According to Time....
And however nasty the Taliban may be, it?s not really a ?terrorist? enemy as we commonly understand the word. The group is not on the State Department?s official list of terrorist organizations and has has long been a battlefield enemy in the ground war for control of Afghanistan. It is not plotting to, say, hijack American airplanes?even if it does have sympathies with people who are. Ditto the Taliban leaders released over the weekend. They are members of a savage and deplorable organization. But unlike, say, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, they have no history of plotting attacks on the U.S. homeland.

What the fuck happened to our country? I was okay with Gitmo in the beginning, but now we are just detaining people without a trial. That's not the way Americans do things.
But you don't seem to care about anyone's rights.

I read that Congress was briefed on this five months ago? And kept in the loop since then? It seems this was something they've been working on for months, not something that started last week. They knew it was going to happen, but not exactly when. So it does in fact seem that Congress was notified. Well in advance.
Why did he use an executive order? That's easy. Because of people like you that will question every thing he does. This shuts him out.
And then we have your comment about Gitmo... Yes, he did, didn't he? And why isn't Gitmo shut down yet? That's right, because Congress refuses to. I'm sorry but Gitmo has served it's purpose. Now it's just holding people without a trial. We cannot hold these people without a trial until the end of time. It's un-American.

You bitch and you complain, yet everything seems to get better and better. Economy is up, and we are finally moving out of both Iraq and Afghanistan. You just keep bitching and complaining.
