Geitner is the world's SECOND smartest man, next to The Messiah. :sarcasm: Daschle is a fucking weasel, and I'm thrilled to have his worthless ass back where he belongs, receiving huge, undeserved payments from lobbyists. |

Brum, Trust me they well the super rednecks in South Carolina in the primary lit me up on that everytime. McCain wanting to close Gitmo was one of the things that the "conservatives" would say made him a Liberal. |

no, his economics ignorance makes him liberal enough. im glad to see him oppose this stimulus, but his overall record isnt very conservative. |

does closing a physical location really address the problem? If we are detaining people who shouldn't be detained, then let's address that...what the hell does the location really have to do with good/bad policy? I personally would rather have potentially dangerous people seperated from us by a good stretch of ocean, but that doesn't mean I am in favor of holding people unlawfully. Am I missing something? |

The Messiah (and liberals in general) prefer symbolism over substance. It's really quite sad. |

Well I don't think that any prisoners are held in the United States unlawfully. So in this sense the closing of Gitmo does solve the problem. The problem doesn't exist on US soil. The problem IS that this prison is in Cuba and therefore allows us to break the US Constitution. |

dreach, is that really the case? So, if they were transferred to the US, they would instantly gain constitutional liberties? |

I'm assuming they would gain the right to a trial and representation, no? |

thats a good question aaron. why can we hold these people indefinately off-shore? its not just gitmo, weve got navy ships holding some people and "rendition centers" in europe as well. what ive always argued is put them on trial, throw the evidence out in court and go on to the next. what i suspect, is THERES NO EVIDENCE AGAINST A MAJORITY of these people. its why we dont do it. |

so, is Dreach's assessment correct in that as long as they aren't on American shore, we don't have to follow American law? |

Woah woah woah. Let me just be clear that I DO NOT think that just because they are not on American soil that we do not have to follow American law. I'm saying because they are not on American soil we are not following American law and that's not right. |
