So Americans have people stucked in a "warehouse" in Guontanamo. Actually somebody should capture group of Americans and call them terrorists. Release no data or location. Only say that they are under a investigation. Let's see what they would say about that??? :gundge: :mad:

They would most likely call it an act of terrorism. Only they are allowed to do stuff like that.

They've tried that, and it didn't work.

They even killed a few Americans on al-Jazeera, and that didn't faze America.

Think of a better plan, because that one sucks.

If your capturings are as competent as your typing skills, America has nothing to worry about.

Yes, please, abduct random Americans and torture them. Because they are personally responsible for all of their government's actions across the world.

You lose that whole smug superiority thing when you stoop to this kind of level. This is how us Americans are supposed to act, not you guys.

Weren't they captured fighting on behalf of Al Quaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan? How is that equivalent to capturing a random group of Americans?

Niini bought the doll from Dragon Models for 45 dollars US.

He bought a few others, so he could claim that he "had captured more Americans".

I just meant that everybody in the world should start to play the same game as Americans. lets not give a s*** about anybody.
And for serious something like the Eu shoul legalize the kidnapping. Let's make it a govermental problem. Or something... :)

You know....youre RIGHT! Let me call George up and give him my suggestions on what to do with this particular situation. While I'm at it, I will tell him to lower taxes, fix the healthcare issues, make gay marriage legal and then pull the troops out of Iraq. Because everyone knows that "we the people" have the power to make him do the right things. I'm sure he's just waiting for my call. :rolleyes:

You're making the assumption that the people in the Guantanamo Bay facility are innocent. And by all accounts, they aren't, as they were arrested while fighting. I mean, we do hear stories of wrongly arrested folks being released. Hell, they released about a hundred people because it was found out they were innocent.

Hey, hey, hey... what's with all the violence. Sure, it was just st. bridget's day yesterday (patron saint of peace). Is this irony or coincidence. Did you know that the money spent on weapons in 4 days is enough to feed the starving for a year. Think about it. Make gloves, not war.... i mean love....

They are quilty for fighting against intruder... Many of them are foot soldiers I belive... And only recently USA announced that the constitution applies to them. There's got to be somethig wrong about that.

I am an American and I havent invaded ANYONE. I havent "warehoused" anyone either..as some previous poster said.

Also american citizens =/= government

Ah yes, Foot Soldiers you say? What military are they from? And why were they not wearing uniforms or claiming to fight for "Iraqi Freedom"? It's because they didn't belong to any military, just a part of a terrorist organization.

Go ahead and kidnap a bunch of American citizens, unfortunately it's been done...not to our soldiers but to our contractors who were helping to build water lines, power stations, schools, hospitals, roads....people who felt it important to get involved and help clean up the mess of war and try to make life easier for the Iraqis....you know what happened to them? There heads were sawed of by barbaric disgusting ...I don't even know what to call them because they're not human. So parade about your pretentious ego and beliefs, glad it's not people like you running the world.

Why did the US invade Afghanistan (where the Guantanamo Bay prisoners are from)? Because Afghanistan was directly tied to an attack on the United States. No, it's only an intrusion if it is unwarranted.

As we can tell from the definition from www.dictionary.com

1. The act of intruding or the condition of being intruded on.
2. An inappropriate or unwelcome addition.
3. Law. Illegal entry upon or appropriation of the property of another.
4. Geology.
1. The forcing of molten rock into an earlier formation.
2. The rock mass produced by an intrusive process.

As the first definition is highly circular, we can throw it out, and the geology definitions aren't even slightly relevant, so those can go too. Definition two might apply, but I wouldn't think so. That leaves us with:

3. Law. Illegal entry upon or appropriation of the property of another.

We are mainly interested with definition number three, as we are dealing with law. To make it an intrusion, it would have to be illegal. And was the invasion of Afghanistan illegal? From what we can tell (unless you belive Michael Moore) it was legal. After all, Afghanistan was involved in an attack on the United States.

As such, the people fighting in Afghanistan against the US were allied with the illegal attacks by Afghanistan (as the attacks were clearly illegal, and don't make that dickheaded "the American's brought it on themselves by launching cruise missiles against Afghanistan" arguement. It's totally invalid, as the US was attacked by Al Qaeda, an ally of Afghanistan during previous attacks on the US and US interests. Hence, the originating incident was not the US breaking any rules. The originating incident for the hostility was Operation Desert Storm, something that was also legal) and the illegal attacks made it so that the fighters were also in direct violation of international law. Let alone the fact that they repeatedly violate various portions of the Geneva convention, forfeiting their rights to it as POW's.

As such we can see that no international law protects these folks. And these people aren't being held as criminals, but as some other sort of thing, just as POW's are different from criminals. There's a difference.

Whoever started the thread, can they end it? This accomplishes nothing. People are gonna bicker back and forath over whether or not the U.S. had the right to invade Afghanistand, and later, Iraq, without an international consensus or U.N. Approval. Personnally, theres enough of that out there.

And yeah, I agree with some of my countrymen and women here. Don't bash us all for the action's of the Neo-Cons.

And hey, you 'bring it on' Americans. Shut up. Please just.... be quiet, and try to get it into your head thats its really not about your manhood. Its alright. Siddown.

Exactly.

Excellent post, Peech.

'Americans' are not the problem - because 'Americans' is a sweeping generalisation that doesn't form one cohesive group.

SOME Americans are 'problematic'... and, surprisingly enough, other 'Americans' find them just as much of a problem.

I think somebody may of already mentioned this, but the US only imprison individuals whom they suspect are terrorists, which I see nothing wrong with as the US government believes they are acting in the country's best interests. I'm sure that if you were president you would want to protect your country and your people from those who are suspected terrorists. Even if they arn't, I'd rather lock them up and interrogate (interrogate, meaning no physical abuse) them rather than risk another terrorist attack on american soil.
Also, I don't see how randomly capturing innocent american civilians is the equivilant of locking up suspected terrorists.

And not just that, but the people imprisoned are typically captured while fighting US forces, or those associated with the US.

Of course this doesn't matter to the discussion at all because the people you have being captured are captured for no reason, whilst the people currently in Guantanmo are captured for a reason.

The person who started this thread is an idiot. Do you think that we just round up dark-skinned folk who are minding their own business? You think its possible that these people are guilty of terrorist crimes, and we are interrogating them in Gitmo to possibly stop another terrorist attack? The only good thing that would come of you kidnapping an American is that at least the gene pool would be cleansed.

What do you expect America to say? "Jeez Niini, we had no idea. Jimbo, clear out that warehouse we stucked all those innocents in." No, we are going to kill you. Get a brain moran! *deep breath*
