Sorry Stan, but after due consideration have got to go along with the Jock on this one.
If you accept that the war is legit,which is a whole 'nother argument that doesn't need thrashing out here, then the Geneva Convention's pretty specific about the rights these guys have. GC111 Article 4.1.2 reads not a lot. The Yanks have chosen to lock them up somewhere outside their own legal jurisdiction. Can't blame them. If they brought them anywhere near the US the lawyers would march over a carpet of new-born babies in spike boots to defend their rights if their was a buck in it. Maybe they should have taken my preferred solution. Take them back to wherever they were picked up & let them go. Of course the people now running those places would just give them a very hard time & air tap-dancing lessons by the end of the week but shit happens. At least nobody's rights'd be compromised.
You see, I feel about it the same way I feel about whoever ran a key right round my car the other night. No doubt he's a troubled individual who needs counselling but if I catch him I'll kick his bollocks to a paste.

Dear Mr Just askin
Stanislav would be among the hundreds of millions who think the "war" is not legit, and has fuelled much of the secretive, illegal, misgovernance, fraud, theft and blackmail which we now suffer, but never mind that, eh.
Be grateful if you would just clear up who it is alright to torture. Is it just wogs and ragheads ? Or would you want someone to complain if they snatched you off your street and started in on you, Jack Straw & Co turning a blind eye ? Just so's we know.
love from stanislav

Dear Mr RDS
Yes His Grace Neil Kinnock and the rest of the Commissioners resigned after the whistle-blowing exposed their institutionalised corruption.
In the interests of the rest of us, and to meet our need for continuity in the shit-in-face-department, they reappointed themselves after 48 hours.
In the parasitic internal statelet that is the BBC, there’s no stopping these civil libertarians.
On last night’s Jock Neil Show, blubber mountain Diane Rentagob avowed that sixty million murders in China was a small price to pay for the paedophile Chairman Mao Tse Tung’s great reforms; suppose it takes one bloated fascist to recognise the genius of another.
Dame Michael Portillo, famous for his televised dinner parties and his own political cowardice, hissed that people suggesting we exit the pan-European dictatorship should “grow up” and Jock himself smirked that most people in Britain didn’t give a fuck about CIA rendition-torture flights and were quite happy to have 250 alleged bad wogs held indefinitely in Uncle Sam’s Cuba waterboarding facility, without charge and without trial, tortured maybe, but in a very real sense, in the name of democracy.
With political commentators such as this trio, we should count our blessings; it won’t take long.
