Bad shit going down at GitMo apparently.
 

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Uncooperative Guantanamo Bay detainees were regularly subjected to highly abusive treatment over a long period of time, unidentified guards at the U.S. military base, intelligence agents and others who worked in the prison told The New York Times.

concentration camp
you fucking nazis

Its fucked up!

If they aren't innocent detainees (yes, I'm sure there are some) FUCK THEM :ak47:

So all's fair in war..no limits eh?

It's not like we're beheading anyone.

Well no shit!

However, should we not set ourselfs apart? After all, our "President" has painted us as the "saviors" of the world. We call them barbaric... guess we are no better.

If we haven't beheaded anyone, then we are setting ourselves apart and we are better, by definition. Think.

Could the keyword in there be: "uncooperative"

?

So you are aware of what has gone on done in Guantanamo Bay? I beleive EVERYONE should be treated humanly when they are detained. Regardless of what they have done. The does not mean we should be nice to them, but they should be treated in a matter that is set out by the Geneva Convertion. If we are not, then what makes us any better then the animals that are doing the beheadings?

From what is written in the article, it sounds as though the cooperative ones are doing just fine there.

I agree with this to a certain degree.. I believe we should be able to do some things in order to get information, but we should not be allowed to brutalize anyone..

WHO WOULD JESUS TORTURE?








I only like to bring it up like that as he's such a religious zealot...I'm not anti religion by any means, but this guy and his boob covering freaks need to go...

If thats the case then cool. I read it also and did get the same impression. If inmates are fucking up then they should be delt with in a manner accoring to the Geneva Convention. Nothing more, nothing less.

:2 cents:

The fact that we're not beheading detainees makes us better than them. See, we may be treating detainees inhumanely, and beheading is also inhumane, but there are degrees of inhumanity.

Beheading is worse than being treated like shit temporarily. Therefore, we are better than they are, because we aren't beheading motherfuckers. Maybe we're not living up to our own moral standards, but that's still a far cry from chopping a motherfucker's head off and sticking it on his back and filming it for his fucking family to see.

Or do you disagree?

Well it realy not surprising we are there to keep the enemy in jail but more importantly to get info out of them to prevent some more attacks. I think they went over board but at leas we aren't cutting off thier heads...

bad shit going down in us prisons too, no cameras allowed thou

I would agree with that statement... yes.

Not yet, but I'm sure it's on the agend if Bush gets back in. They'll be beheading Arabs in Times Square in no time.

get real

Unfortunately, it goes deeper than that, we have to be alot better, because we were the ones who started up alot of the international organizations (the U.N. for example) that try to tell other countries how to behave, and always chastizing counties when they seem inhumane. And in doing so, we have set the bar, and we have to behave accordingly by those rules. It can't be oh you guys have to obey them, but we don't have to. We end up looking like a bunch of flipping hypocrites. I guess it is already too late, the damage is done. Now the ball is back in our court, what will the U.S. do now?

How would anyone know? No lawyers, press, or independent investigators are even allowed there!

:1orglaugh

What's worse?
Getting your head chopped off OR
being suffocated?

And we did set the bar VERY high.

But this administration truly believes it is exempt from ALL history, treaties, and agreements.
