The great thing this country is good for is that all people have due process and let their voices be heard and to defend themselves in a court of law.:rasta::rastasmoke:imp:
Yes, he/she should have due process because they are citizens of this country. That's the key thing here...these people are not citizens of this country and don't deserve the same rights in our courts.

I would like provisions for cases of kidnapping children though. If some assclown has kidnapped children, has admitted to it, but won't disclose the location of where they're hid....I say do what has to be done in order to save the innocent instead of having them starve in some hole.

This is a privilige of the American People not for people suspected of terrorism. The people at GITMO do not deserve American rights. They obviously need some process there, but giving them American rights is not the way to go about it.

Like someone else said earlier.. maybe something similar to being a POW or the like, but having equal rights to an American who pays his dues to his country through taxes or through serving is just insane!!! These people have contributed nothing to America and you want to give away our rights to them? :wtf:
VERY well stated!:thumbsup: And I have to agree with your idea on treating them as POW's....how many past POW's have found safe haven in our court systems?

In the United States, at the end of World War II there were 175 Branch Camps serving 511 Area Camps containing over 425,000 prisoners of war. The camps were located all over the US but were mostly in the South because of the expense of heating the barracks. Eventually, every state with the exception of Nevada, North Dakota, and Vermont had POW camps.

Seems that the left wing can't decide whether these people's rights fall under the Geneva Convention or our own Constitution. I think this is where McCains stance is....these people SHOULD be treated as POW's and therefore have rights based on the provisions of the Geneva Convention.

Also concerning the left wing....if I recall correctly during the New Hampshire debate, Clinton stated that torture should be reserved for Presidential discretion if there was imminant danger. Over 18,000,000 people apparently agreed.

Have a good one!:s4:
