Poll question: Is There Anything We WOULDN'T Do At Guantanamo?
Edited on Mon May-16-05 09:20 AM by Plaid Adder
OK, the Koran thing has raised the question for me: Do you think there's anything that we WOULDN'T do to the detainees in Guantanamo? Is there still a line being drawn SOMEWHERE, or is it just open season pure and simple down there?

4. Just Like In America
Our "justice" system goes to extreme lengths to wrongfully convict innocent suspects, then goes to extreme lengths to cover up the injustice. (over 20,000 wrongfully convicted Americans each year).
Our gvt. thinks it makes us "look good" to have the most prisoners, but it's really "all about the Benjamins"..
Most people have no idea what a prosperous industry incarceration is.

Showing him kneeling over a dead prisoner packed in ice shows we not only sanction killing, but that killing prisoners is now a Kodak Moment.

3. I'm not sure who you mean by we
If you mean the men who are at Guantenemo - I would think that any deaths would be accidents (probably) but short of that anything goes. If by we you mean the American people, so far that hasn't been an issue - while people have the idea that something skeevy is going on at Guantenmo they don't know enough specifics to get angry enough, plus there is a ton of misinformation floating around as well.

6. How about this?
Draw pornographic flip-book cartoon on Koran then use it for toilet paper? Seems okay to me.

Send in charity works to prepare prisoner's favorite meals from home and then tell them that the meat was pork? Go get 'em.

Inform prisoners that their new shoes are made from the hydes of former prisoners? Sure, why not.

Show prisoners photos of their parents heads on pikes? Okay, Mr. Goofy!

7. other:
it seems the only thing not allowed is to treat the detainees as actual human beings with rights.

8. Why would they have limits when they have no oversight?
Unchecked power is the ultimate high after all...or so I've been told :(
