Guantanamo Puzzle: How to know they harmed America if we have no proof? - Today’s Headlines 7/7/08 |
|
Top StoryRabbit-hole justice ONE of the perennial claims made by Americans who approve of the detention of terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is that those people are just getting what they deserve, that the detainees should get no more consideration than the hijackers gave their victims on 9/11. But this nation is supposed to be committed to justice. While Guantanamo Bay does hold some hardened terrorists, it has become increasingly clear that others who have been detained did nothing to harm America. How do we know whether they harmed America or not, if we have no proof? The purpose of the habeas corpus provision in the Constitution is to keep tyrants from holding people against their will based on unfounded suspicion. America will never live down the crimes of the Bush administration.—Caro Left-Wing ConspiracyFor more headlines, visit MakeThemAccountable.com.Carolyn Kay MakeThemAccountable.com

It is the knowledge of the overwhelming innocence of these people that is keeping BushCo from releasing them -- to a civil society where they could sue his @$$.

3. We've known for five years that 9 of 10 of these people |
|
never pointed a weapon at an American soldier.
It isn't what we DON'T know that is a problem but, what we do know.
