Allegedly. I feel there have been 2 great evils humans have brought to Earth: 1.) Religion. (as opposed to spirituality) 2.) Government. Therefore it scares the crap out of me anytime I hear a blanket statement such as yours when the government is holding anyone for any reason. We don't know when, where, or how any of these people came to be in GitMo. We only know what our government is telling us which, mostly, seems plausible. Is that by design or fact? I don't know and neither do you. As Americans we should always favor review and checks anytime our government is taking away anybody's liberty. In this case I think the fair thing would be to give inmates supervised access to, for example, the Red Cross. At a minimum this would allow a third party to advocate for anyone mistakenly or unfairly deprived of liberty. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:209432 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
