They may be evil people but this has not been in any way proven. In large part we are holding them in camps because they had the temerity to fight against us. I'd be very surprised if more than a dozen of them were not Arab, assuming you count Afghans as Arabs. Now this may seem to you to be a trivial matter -- you seem to think it's all ok because at lease we didn't kill them -- but to me it looks just as arbitrary as incarcerating people without recourse to law because they have a given religion. Calling me a racist doesn't change that and where do YOU get off calling me a racist? Aren't you the guy who wanted us to invade Iraq so we could bring them civilization? >4. Nope, I was wrong.

Pointing the finger at people and saying that they are out to get us. THAT is scapegoating. It's an old old practice, but that doesn't make it right. Accountability? I am hearing this from someone that doesn't think a four and a half year detention warrants a court hearing? Hehe. Even *Bush* isn't trying to defend it. He says he *wants* to release the people, but it's hard, real hard, to make a plan... http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=bab80bb1-7b10-496c-b4ca-dfb95d2c2ea2&k=23646 >5.
