An enemy gets sentenced. The way it should be, for it would not be justice if they arrested you, if you were innocent, but did not have the chance to prove it in a trial. We do not live under a dictatorship ruling by fear and ultimate control of its people. My country, right when right.

There seems to ber a basic misunderstanding about the sacred principles of justice in last post .Nobody needs to prove his innocence ,it is up to the prosecutor to prove guilt ,an enormous difference .
There are a few things that needs clarification .Apparently this guy spent time in an egyptian jail,is that correct?How come ?And why ,being an american citizen did he spent more than three years in detention without even being accused of anything ,as the article claims .Honestly,put anybody in prison for years without accusing him,ship him to Egypt to have him tortured ,he will confess to anything just to get out of limbo .He might be guilty,he might be innocent,but one thing is certain;due to the inhumane and unfair detention conditions you will never know for certain .The way the war on terror is fought is a mockery of justice .Justice is supposed to be one of the pillars of democracy .Conclusion;the war on terror is partly destroying the very same concept it is supposed to defend .Time to adjust I'd say.

Tonny shame on you.Jan 23rd, 2008 - 18:09:10



What you are describing here has NOTHING to do with the reality of the war against islamists.

Your opinions have no relation to the REALITY of what is happening in the world.

Go write and complain to your local mufti ok?

You have only excuses for your jihadists friends.

You should be so thankful the USA is not waging war as we used to do in WW 2 and earlier. This war would had been over otherwise.

It can turn around when we have a president who is not a friend of Saudi Arabia.
