SCOTUS Grants Guantanamo Prisoners Habeas Corpus

[TheMercenary]

Seriously. You bleeding hearts want to end GITMO, fine, most of us fully support it. Just don't whine when these guys have their heads chopped off as they get off the airplane when they get home. That blood will be on your hands. I welcome the chance to say I told you so.

Seems like you've been doing most of the talking about sending them home, so why isn't the blood on your hands?

All I ever promoted was a fair trial in a fair amount of time without being mistreated in the meantime.

We grabbed these people and that means we now have the responsibility of doing the right thing by them. For some I assume that means incarceration. For others that would mean sending them home. For still others, it would mean letting them find a host country.

Just because you're tired of the situation doesn't mean that you get to make a bulk decision for individuals.

Oh, and the last I checked my heart is just fine.

Now that is funny as hell...

I see bleeding... You can't have it both ways.

I see. fairness = bleeding. Will there be a ministry of peace, soon?

Fairness? Where? I see a majority of people caught up in a dragnet and mix in with a few very bad actors. Let the mass go home, put the few bad actors in prison for life after the tribunals. So far they have done a pretty good job.
