What the purpose of the hysteria was is anybody's guess - all you have to do is watch what happened at Bagram and Abu Ghraib ..... The bonus is the other 90% that weren't terrorists are now. Catch "Taxi to the Darkside" on HBO - you will sh!t your pants...

Yeah HBO that awesome source of truthful and unbiased information.

since bush called this a war on terror, he wanted to treat every terrorist as an enemy combatant-but not as a soldier captured in a battle. it's a fine line....terrorists are criminals-they don't fight for a country, we're not fighting a germany for instance. so, those who are investigated, and then found to have committed, or are planning to commit, a crime should be charged under law-whether it's a u.s. law if they're caught here (much like if someone was here from canada, mexico, etc-they still fall under our court system) or an international law, or the country in which they resides' law. that's what everyone needs to figure out. if we follow a money trail, we have to hope we can persuade whatever country that terrorist resides in to arrest him. if they're here, or attempt to come here, we arrest them here. as for holding someone for years without a trial, you can't do that. yes, they're bad guys in many cases. so try them, or charge them and have the hague try them. but you can't just lock them up, no charges, and throw away the key. even the nazi war criminals got trials-that's what they must do in this case. absolutely lock the bad guys up-but you probably have to prove they're bad guys.

You're right. I'm sure the documentary was completely fabricated; doctored the videos, edited the interviews, etc., all in a lefty effort to make Bush look bad.

Actually if you watched it, McCain comes out smelling like a rose - and this premiered well before the election.

Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush on the other hand deserve to be crucified. Literally.

And I'm a staunch conservative.

Well if the leftys are allowed to bash the source, the home of Bill Maher is a questionable one. Not to mention after seeing a producer of theirs first hand attempt to manipulate an interview on a far less important subject I question anything that HBO produces. The horseracing subjects that they have covered were all done in a manner that left out most of the boring truths and left in far more sensationalist material.

Such great news. Joey will be relieved that these poor, down trodden people are going to released here. Maybe he can make friends with some of them? Or volunteer to let them stay with him until they get back on their feet and resume killing us again?
