American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an "art therapy rehabilitation program" and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials. Somehow this brings to mind what Cheney had to say just weeks after President Obama took office: When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry. So, how's that protecting America one still life painting class at a time working out, eh, Dick? Of course the question now is, will Cheney again be booked on every Fox News to peddle more criticism of President Obama, or will this little "oops" moment mean that Dick is slithering back to his undisclosed location? If our politicians had balls, they would have them hauled out and shot/hung/rope/leathal injection. And then told the UN that is what we do with terrorists, shoot them dead and are considering adding supporters and their families that aided and abetted. Then maybe we might feel like our politicians are serious about it. Yeah... screw due process, the rule of law, ethics... sure thing. Sounds like Canuck would find a perfect mate in Wasilla. |

Gee and here Bob Gates has been pushing since May to transfer 97 Yemeni detainees to the Saudi rehab program; as of 10 days ago the plan was to send six Yemenis back to Yemen itself with possibly scores more to follow. Any reason to worry about that? To send these detainees back to Saudi Arabia proves that we can't even grasp the lessons of simple folk tales.... Br'er Rabbit hasn't taught us a thing..... Heh.... |

I imagine Cheney would say, left up to him, he would have killed all of them. In retrospect, not a horrible idea. Certainly no worse that the innocents we kill trying to hit a terrorist in Afghanistan or Yemen. Maybe we could just load the whole stinking bunch up on a C5 and have a tragic accident where the air crew were the only ones who managed to punch out safely. How about a glider towed by a C-5. Those are expensive airplanes. I'm with ya on that one. A prison barge as it were. ;-) One of those airliners in the scrap pile in Mojave. But, but, but...we're supposed to be the civilized society. We're supposed to, like you know whatshisface, the 9/11 mastermind, have a "fair trial" where he's not going to get a fair trial and he's as good as convicted anyway - according to our Attorney General anyway. Being serious for a second, this is a problem - the military courts should be the ones handling it, but we're in the Age of The Lightworker where everything has to be "fair". By the way, anybody see The One's presser? He looks like he's aged 20 years. I kind of feel for the guy - it's gotta be hard being the worst President since Jimmy Carter. Everybody is jumping in his face - even his trained seal media and the nutroots on the web. I'm worried about his health - he did not look good at all. If he croaks or something because of the stress, we'd have Sherriff Joe "Gaffer" Biden as President - then we'd really have the worst President since Carter. |

Nuff said? -- I get so upset by these spoofers, that I think I am going to make more crossposts between rec.boats and numerous unrelated newsgroups, because at least that is not detrimental to rec.boats. This group needs some new blood, and that is always a good way to get some new posters who enjoy boating as much as i do. |

So, you think it's inappropriate for a prosecutor to claim that the alleged criminal is guilty???? Being serious for a second, this is a problem - the military courts should be the ones handling it, but we're in the Age of The Lightworker where everything has to be "fair". Perhaps for some cases where the evidence is so tainted by things like torture, which is illegal, that it would be impossible to get a conviction in the US court system. Thanks GWB. By the way, anybody see The One's presser? He looks like he's aged 20 years. I kind of feel for the guy - it's gotta be hard being the worst President since Jimmy Carter.

Sounds like you've run out of logic and are back to slamming someone about their looks, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. -- Nom=de=Plume |
