The Iraqi that was detained, Hussein, was hanging around and consorting with Al Qaeda insurgents. And none of the Libs see nothing wrong with this?

Are these same Libs willing to put their lives on the line that this Iraqi reporter was not indeed passing information to Al Qaeda?

Hussein was granted amnesty after he was released because he had violated the Iraqi law of consorting with known terrorists. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have qualified for amnesty being not guilty.

How can one get amnesty for nothing? The answer, you can’t.

Judge number one–

“Regular got his ass kicked. I rule for Rage.”

Judge number two–

“Regular’s got nothing. Rage totally wins.”

Judge number three–

“Regular’s defense of his position was completely refuted by Rage’s superior arguments. No contest.”

There you have it, folks. A unanimous decision shows once again, the reich-wing’s got nothing.

Thank you for playing and don’t forget to pick up your “LOSER!” tee-shirt on the way out . . .

Ah,yes, the same depraved Bushite “logic” we’ve been hearing over and over. It’s a nice little shell game: Keep your eye on the bouncing prisoner! U.S. law? Nope, he’s in Iraq! Iraqi law? Nope, he’s in U.S. custody!

The Fifth and Sixth Amendments apply to all criminal prosecutions, so let’s. . .not prosecute! We might have to prove something!

Geneva Convention? Not a prisoner-of-war! But it’s in a war zone, that’s why we’re doing it!

If all else fails, rationalize after-the-fact. Well, he musta done something wrong–he agreed to amnesty after only 2 years in nightmarish limbo! .

It takes practice to master the subtle art of blackwhite . Regular obviously practices frequently.

And all the clocks are striking thirteen.

Show me case law where what you claim applies?

If you can’t then you are arguing peanuts over peanut shells.

littlejohn,

Have you had a chance to watch any of the HBO series, John Adams? I’ve only caught a little, but what I did see was a very interesting exchange between Jefferson, Franklin, and…I forget, and it’s late. It was specifically about the use of the term “Creator” and also pertaining to a discussion on how slavery would or would not be addressed, considering most of the men were or had been slave owners. Of course, it’s a “guess” by the writers, but I would also “guess” that there was a lot of research, and the exchange/discussion was taken from papers written at the time by those three men. Jefferson’s original wording (according to the mini-series and other things I’ve read) was quite different, but Ben Franklin suggested the “endowed by their Creator with certain (inalienable) rights” for the express purpose of NOT relating to any religion and meant only that these were rights given for just being born and living.

Badly explained, but I’m hoping to catch all the “parts” of it on On Demand.

If he was held by Iraqi’s, and RELEASED, then there should have been NO reason for the Military to hold the man for two years!!

Also, it is worth noting that Hussein was released by an Iraqi Judge who used the same Amnesty law that released other Iraqi insurgents.

Note that Amnesty usually indicates that someone must have done something wrong legally, before Amnesty is applied.

According to the Iraqi Judge that gave Hussein Amnesty there was wrong doing by said prisoner, otherwise it would be unconstitutional in Iraqi law to apply Amnesty where none is needed.

Then we are going to hear that our ATTITUDES are putting our troops in harm’s way and it is all the fault of the Democrats that 4,000 Americans have died in Iraq.

Then we will hear a lecture as to why civilians and politicians should just allow the military to do whatever they want, because they know better than us.

Then, it will be more, yada, yada, I am ex-military and I know everything, but it is classified so I can’t say anything.

Yada, yada.

Can’t do that, Clark. Or official raping. Paul declared those beyond the pale.

Everything else is cool! :)

Hell, we could have beheaded him, like our good friends the Saudis would have done. Maybe we should have tortured a confession out of him like our friends Turkey.

Let’s just give up any pretense to the higher moral ground and just run the sons of bitches through a wood chipper.

What the Hell, they are just journalists, after all.

He should have a speedy trial–war zone or no war zone.

If you don’t think so, then you can’t complain when foreign gov’ts do the same thing to Americans.

They’re just following the Supreme Court mandate that suspects have to be arraigned within 2 days years. Move along, nothing to see here!

Sheesh, you’d think they were imprisoning journalists with no charges all the time . Huh? What? Damn it!

“He now joins a growing list of journalists detained in conflict zones by the U.S. military for prolonged periods and eventually released without any charges or crimes ever substantiated against them,” said Simon. “This deplorable practice should be of concern to all journalists. It basically allows the U.S. military to remove journalists from the field, lock them up and never be compelled to say why.”

Well, but, hey, he must have done something wrong! Everyone knows that accusation brings a legal presumption of guilt (Huh? What was that?—presumption of innocence??)

Creepy.

Reguliar doesn’t let a little thing like The Constitution of the United States get in the way of what his neo-CON pals are doing–stealing Iraqi oil with your tax dollars.

Thanks reggie, the constitution is totally irrelevant. We knew that. Go see if Hank Price is interested in the woody you have for his hands and wrists. Dumbass….

Excluding your middle school remarks, explain to me how the U.S. Constitution is applied to an Iraqi citizen in a combat zone where only U.S. Combat military rules apply.

Ahhh yess always the expert on everything…

GOOD one Steven!

You may want to put your life in the hands of an Iraqi AP Photographer who takes photos from insurgent combat positions, but I’m very sure the Marines, Soldiers and other newsmen on the Iraqi/American side do not want to jeopardize their lives by gambling that Hussein is not an informant for the insurgents.
