I have       nothing against the fact that criminals are imprisoned. However in a       civilized society guilt is determined in a independent court and       suspects are given a fair trial. This is not the case for Gitmo inmates,       but as Stalin's commies did to thier suspects these suspects are also       held there arbitrarily without charges and denied a legal defence and a       trial. Americans in regard to Gitmo are following the same principles as       Stalin's communist regime in 1930s, 1940s.              By supporting this unlawful and immoral practice regarding terrorist       suspects (empahsis on the word *suspects*) you are giving the state       (United States) the right to do whatever they please to people subject       to their jurisdiction.              Earlier you denied some states this right, but by accepting the somplete       opposite in regard to the US means you have double standards and are a       hypocrite.                     --       Anton              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
