Re: GITMO
You've got six whole posts, none of them gun-related, four of them espousing leftist ideas that are bound to be unpopular here. Why on earth would I think that you're a troll?
Re: GITMO
I'm not going to argue with a troll.

I don't know about yours, but my copy of the Constitution starts out "We, the people of the United States of America...." [emphasis mine], not "We, the people of the United States of America and anyone else that happens to wander in ...." I'd like for you to cite me a reference for the idea that the Constituion applies to the whole world.
Frost: Actually, the Geneva and Hague conventions are what define lawful and unlawful combatants.
Some of y'all really need to get some perspective. Hacking someone's head off with a dull knife: that's torture. Who's doing that? It ain't us. So we make a bunch of barbarians a little bit uncomfortable. Big deal.

Re: GITMO
The US Constitution only applies to US citizens and resident aliens.
Putting underwear on someone's head is not torture. At least those guys still had heads. The barbarians we're fighting cut people's heads off.
Unlawful combatants are not protected by the Geneva Conventions, nor are they entitled to due process. This whole idea of treating these Islamofascist terrorists as if they are criminals is absurd. The Clinton administration started that nonsense because they didn't have the stones to deal with terrorism properly - like an act of war - and look at the mess he left for his successor.

Re: GITMO
They don't have rights under the Geneva Conventions either because they are unlawful combatants.
