1. In seriousness - no, because of the 183 waterboardings, and because the "plots" and "plans"
Edited on Sun Oct-10-10 01:34 PM by AlabamaLibrul
just sound like a delusion of grandeur to blow up every major building and assassinate many major figures in the world.

They couldn't pull off a fraction of these.

2. Sure, why not
The leaders are as guilty as the individuals who carry out the acts.

3. Yes, the son of a bitch is guilty
He should suffer the same fate as Daniel Pearl, and have his remains fed to hogs.

5. Are you suggesting that law enforcement will sometimes pin all unsolved cases....
on a convenient scapegoat?

Has that ever happened before?

7. All the time.
And what about Omar Khadr? That young man has been victimized by his family, the US military and the Canadian government.....for being in the wrong place and the wrong time, mostly.

6. No.
And the damage done to his body and his mind at the hands of the Americans make the US as guilty as he is, if not more so.

The US has no room to demand retribution.

8. He probably isnt guilty of all
He may be guilty of some, but because torture was used, will never see the inside of a court room.
