  • Insightful, on 08/07/2008, -0/+7Here's a quick test: If an enemy treats you, or an American soldier, or any American prisoners this way, would it constitute a war crime?

    I for one, have human decency and respect international law, even if my enemy does not I will not stoop to my enemy's level in a race to the bottom.

  • Insightful, on 08/07/2008, -0/+3We are at war with terror! How dare you disagree with our supreme leader who is trying to protect you against Evil using all his resources. I think you home and laptop should be searched since you have nothing to hide, do you?

  • Insightful, on 08/07/2008, -0/+2Why bother with law then? Why bother capturing anyone and why not just execute anyone, whether they are innocent or guilty, if you think they might be involved.

    Ditto at home too. If someone ever accuse sportsstar67 of being unpatriotic, ss67 should immediately be executed on the spot too. Constitution should not apply to terrorists like ss67 right?
