US Guilty of Terror Flights?

[stan_deezy]

Our wonderful whackos are at it again: terror flights <br /><br /><br />Erm, how on earth do they expect these suspects do be transported? Walking? Perhaps our Government (UK) want them to fly themselves?<br /><br />Personally I don't care two hoots how they get the bad guys, how they transport them or where they take them to. Heck I don't even care if they manage to get them to their final destination alive <br /><br />Is this story being reported in the US?

stan<br /> are they convicted or just suspects?<br /> or does it matter as long as someone dies?

Re: US Guilty of Terror Flights?

From what is being reported here they are just suspects (and I did put a smiley face to show I wasn't being wholly earnest about them being killed en-route). I'm just getting a bit sick of the way our media here is portraying the US and the administration as the bad guys all the time.<br /><br />It's also a bit personal to me: the airport that the US are using predominantly (Prestwick, scotland) is where I used to be stationed. Still visit occassionally and I have noticed an increase in US military air traffic but assumed it was part of the ongoing ops in Iraq. <br /><br />Just curious as to whether this story was making the news in the US?

yea its making the news but not much that I consider reliable news.<br /> about the only reliable news is from the pentagon that about 2000 "suspects" were released from gitmo and other places after a 3 year detention and given 30 dollars and a buss ride back.<br /> no trials, hearings or convictions just an oops and here take 30 dollars and go home and spread the word about democracy.

Well I give our Military and Goverment a little more credit rodbolt.<br /><br />But I also think we need people like you for checks and balance. To keep our Goverment in check!<br /><br />They were taken during a war. Most were likely peons but still thats 2000 less our troops had to deal with and they were not killed.<br /><br />Remember that a lot of the Taliban fighters were NOT there because they wanted to be. It was a choice they had to make. Them and their family could be killed or they (the men could join and fight) family spared!<br /><br />Given the choice I would do the same. <br /><br />If captured or killed the family was still spared!<br />And over there you can change sides, as long as you (save face as we say) do it with honor.<br />Now they go back home to join their family with honor. 3 years is a small price to pay for comming home to a wife and kids that are still alive. <br /><br />I could be as wrong as two left feet here. But that is what I have read. And told.<br />Maybe rolmops or others can shed some lite on this!

Funny how those "oppps" are popping up and being re-arrested or killed in action. Kinda odd for people who don't want to fight don't you think?<br /><br />Stan the story here is more about the "secret" CIA prisons.

The only problem I have with torture is that it might provide incorrect information.<br /><br />People will make things up to stop it.<br /><br />Ken
