The Gitmo Dilemma: “We need to destroy our enemies, not guarantee their rights”

* Newsweep: Gitmo?  No problem when a Marxist Muslim does it…

Four reasons Obama won’t close the controversial prison soon.

When Barack Obama campaigned for the presidency he repeatedly promised to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, where hundreds of terrorist suspects have been held since the beginning of the War on Terror. As recently as last Sunday, he told 60 Minutes that he intended to keep his promise. “I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that,” Obama said, adding that the planned closure was “part and parcel of an effort to regain America’s moral stature in the world.”

The Gitmo Human Rights Circus

Monday, October 27th, 2008

* Not one of the Gitmo inmates has been sentenced to 30 years of hard labour or execution; but the human rights activists are literally pissing themselves over the imaginary rights of these hard-core Islamo-loons who would kill thousands of infidels for the sake of Allah if only they had a chance

Guantanamo trials flout US legal fundamentals: critics

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The military “war crimes” commissions created to try US war-on-terror detainees held in Guantanamo bear only a partial resemblance to normal US courts and are heavily criticized for flouting fundamental principles of American law.

* All according to the Al Qaeda playbook lesson 18: PRISONS AND DETENTION CENTERS

OTTAWA - Two former Montrealers imprisoned in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba are taking the RCMP and CSIS to court as part of a bid to prove their confessions to terrorism resulted from torture by the U.S. and others and are therefore worthless.

Update: 

Blame the torturers

That three Muslim citizens were tortured is a great injustice — but they and their supporters should focus their anger on Syria and Egypt, rather than Canada

Gitmo Dilemma: the enemy within

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

                    

 “I care not for myself; our enemies deserve nothing less than what we would expect from them were the situations reversed. More than anything, I hope we can rediscover some of our American values.”

* Your enemies wouldn’t blink to chop your head off and scream Allahu akbar, you dumb f*kc..

(Seriously deluded) Guantanamo prosecutor accuses Pentagon of ethical misconduct in terrorist trials

* A military prosecutor quit his job after concluding that the trial system at the US detainment facility Guantanamo Bay amounted to a “creeping rot” of injustice.

Judge: No Internet Access for Sept. 11 Defendants at Gitmo

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — AP   A U.S. military judge has denied a request from professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for Internet access inside his Guantanamo cell, ruling he does not need it to prepare for his death penalty trial.

Canada: Bleeding hearts for Omar Khadr

Khadr’s Gitmo ordeal played out in video

* CSIS agents warned him that family risked torture in Pakistan

* Video shows weeping Canadian Guantanamo inmate (Reuters weeps along..)

Here’s the video of Omar Khadr, the Islamic terrorist captured on a battlefield in Afghanistan after throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier, sobbing and weeping and feeling sorry for himself. This little SoB is a killer and his whole clan is involved in terrorism. And the left feels sorry for this piece of human waste?

A 16-year-old Omar Khadr is seen pulling at his hair, covering his face and shedding his tunic in stills taken from videotapes of Canadian officials interrogating the Toronto-born terror suspect in Guantanamo Bay in 2003. Omar Khadr was 15 when U.S. forces seized him in Afghanistan following a firefight. He is now 21 and still being held in the Guantanamo prison camp.

Omar Khadr: wouldn’t it be better for him to be a ‘martyr?’

It was the ultimate exercise in good-cop, bad-cop. For four days in 2003 at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, CSIS interrogators questioned the then 16-year-old Omar Khadr — alternately plying him with hamburgers, potato chips and soda, and grilling him with tough questions about his family’s terrorist connections and his own activities in Afghanistan.

* The Khadrs, Canada’s First Family of Terrorism, in the News

Sometimes, they treated Khadr like a kid brother, teasing him about being from Scarborough, joking about his love of horseback riding, and offering him chocolate. Other times, they made fun of his claims of being tortured, called him a liar and questioned his manhood.

Update:

Reality behind crying Gitmo kid vid: “My lasting image of Omar is of him crouched in the rubble waiting for U.S. troops to get close enough so he could take one of them out”

Footage of Omar Khadr weeping and calling out for Mommy has been circulating around, renewing charges that Guantanamo is a torture camp. Yet a soldier who encountered Omar Khadr in different circumstances says that he deserves what he has been getting. “Khadr ‘earned’ Guantanamo stay, says soldier,” by Stewart Bell for the National Post via JW
