Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that there were probably some things done that were not necessarily filled with integrity. Abu G(sp) comes to mind. If we could just have a rational discussion with these terrorists I am sure that they would come around to our way of thinking and give all of those around them the freedoms that they deserve. I am sure that they would forever live in harmony with us. Somehow, I do not think that this will ever happen JMO. I do know that we live in an evil world and evil things happen, if shutting down GITMO does something to change this, then I guess it was a good decision. Only time will tell.

No disagreement there. However . . .

I would ask that you stop trying to do things for me or in my name, and stop taking my money against my consent.

So I take it that you had no friends or family in the Twin Towers when they went down

Personally I would rather my military and those that are trained to prevent these type of actions to be able to keep me and mine safe. Its not that I would not stand up for myself and defend my loved ones. I believe that as long as our military has the means to keep these bad guys occupied with worrying about which house they are going to sleep in tonight, instead of planning which US city they are going to terrorize, its all the better for me. So I guess we can agree to disagree.

P.S. Sleep well tonight our military has your back!

I am pretty sure KSM and the rest of the Al Qaeda (sp?) prisoners are evil people, and they are not simply mistaken, misunderstood, unloved, or improperly medicated. At the same time, I find it difficult to consider the people who set up and operate Gitmo to be my countrymen, even if they may wear a uniform and think they are protecting me, because their operating system seems pretty foreign to me also. It reminds me of trying to save an undamaged home from an encroaching flood by spraying it with gasoline and throwing a lit match.

It's my understanding that the 9-11 mastermind is there, Khalid Shiek Mohammad(sp). So, if Holder has already stated that these prisoners were tortured, that means that the evidence obtained is inadmissable, right? How does Obama not just turn him loose? This dude has already admitted to being the mastermind and says he will do it again! Hmmm, any ideas on what to do with him?
