Bush says he is a Christian. I don’t think there is anything Constitutional, never mind Christian, about Gitmo.

The only thing Bush seems to know about Christianity is the “Bumper Sticker” variety.

Over Two Hundred years ago the Founding Fathers had the FORSIGHT to writein the Constitution against dictatorships, tyranny and requisite cronyism overtaking the Americas. 
Are these articles just historical artifacts now?

This idiotic theory of Leo Strauss, the Neocons practice - The Benign or Noble LIE - in order to give the American people some meaning in their sad lives is a Joke.  And a rather patronising one at that. 

Are the Straussian elite, the Neocons, so powerful they can distract everyone with “Terrorists” at Gitmo while they deconstruct the American Constitution with impunity?

Not be a stickler but how are we even certain that it was a suicide.  Can we really take these guys at their word?  have they ever been straight when it comes to the demise of an “enemy combatant”?

Throw me in Gitmo for five years, torture me, and taunt me and I would undoubtedly commit suicide. Probably wouldn’t have lasted as long as the detainee did.

We all have blood on our hands; as we sit back and say “Isn’t it awful what that jackass in the White House is doing.” What are we doing about it? As long as the guy standing next to you has money in his pocket and no one in his family has been accused of a crime by this administration, he doesn’t care what is happening to those around him. We have become a materialistic country,put money above the good of others.

When someone figures out how to get people to care about neighbors more than designer labels on clothing, only then will we be back to the days when people cared about honesty, integrety, Geneva convention, constitution, and the welfare of all.

It’s a wonder we all don’t commit suicide. Our vaunted American “freedom” is now a patently phony illusion. It’s a laughable, pathetic pretense. The whole world’s watching in contemptuous amazement as we trash our liberties without a complaint, for this evil fool of a president.

Paul Craig Roberts says it just fine, so I’ll just quote him:

‘What do people in other countries think when they hear Bush prattle on about “freedom and democracy” while he ignores opinion polls and election results and detains people without warrants, tortures them, and puts them before military tribunals in which they are denied even knowing the evidence against them? Bush has contrived a situation for defendants in which no defense is possible. In Bush’s America, people can be executed on the basis of hearsay and secret evidence. If this is “freedom and democracy,” what is tyranny?’

If you go by the crass principle that the louder you shout English at these foreigners, the easier they will understand, it’s hardly surprising you will see them as no better than animals.  What kind of Sadists are running Gitmo?

God only knows if they had anything to do with 9/11.  Advanced Interrogation methods are an “Art Form” not a science.  We’re getting into a hit and miss area here, so information gained can not be very reliable.  I just seems like an excuse to inflict pain on “dirty little foreigner” for the amusment of the Pentagon.
What would you confess to, if you’d been Tortured and locked up indefinately? (5 years in many cases.)

The prisoners will not forget this.  Indeed, Everyone watching Gitmo will not forget.  If ever there was a Recruiting Tool for extremists, this is it.

Gitmo is an Abomination to the very idea of a Civil Society.

Larry Cox, Amnesty International USA’s Executive Director, made the following statement in response to reports of the death of a detainee by apparent suicide in Guantanamo Bay:

“This tragedy is another illustration of the desperation many detainees face at Guantanamo Bay and one more reason that the Guantanamo Bay prison camp must be shut down. Many suspects have been in custody without charge or trial, most for over 5 years.”

I think it is too late.

The manufacturing base has been outsourced to other countries, thanks to Corporate America.  A reversion to Feudalism is not upon us, we are actually in it.  Serfdom is here to stay. 

The best the average Joe can dream of is MacJobs, or the checkout aisle at walmart. 
Unless you are connected, or born into the ruling class, you are screwed.

And what are the people, in their desperation, reverting to?  Mindless religion.  Trying to pray their way to affluence.  Not only are they trying, but they’re also being manipulated and distracted by it. 

Economic uncertainty makes people turn to some pretty crazy Nuts.
Remember, people’s tolerance and compassion are usually linked to how well the economy is doing.  I can think of no better example than what happened in Germany 1932 when Herr Hitler was elected, praying on the desperate.

Excuse the Marxist framework but I think it certainly applies in this case.

And, how are we know that it was a suicide? Because the government says so.

I think the suicide was given a choice between no Lawyer, and a Govenment approved one. He may have been more than slightly depressed when his new defence attourney walked in: Monica Goodling

Under the crumpled steel of the Twin Towers,
the American Constitution was also one of the casulaties of 9/11. The Law only belongs to those who can now afford it.  But the real winners are Corporate America.  We all protest at their never ending sociopathic Greed and indifference, but nothing changes. They hold ALL the cards now.  It’s just business as usual.

Today it’s dirty little foreigners in Gitmo. Tomorrow it will be Americans.
