New I have to disagree as well....


[...]

But based on what I recall of his posting history, Brandioch is fairly easy to understand. He wants to let them go, with a ticket home; whether or not they're to be issued a replacement Kalashnikov and a kilo of Semtex on the way to the airport is to be determined later.

[...]

Which is the agenda. Brandioch doesn't give a damn about the prisoners. If he can embarrass the President, who is of the opposing [and therefore vile] political party, he has to do all he can, and damn the collateral damage. So the actual content of the Geneva Convention is irrelevant, as are prevailing interpretations in International Law bunless they can be used as a lever to pry GWB out of office

Brandioch has repeated argued that they must be treated as POW's, not that they have to let them go. (I don't agree with his opinion, but that's me.)

Besides, if Brandioch REALLY wanted to go after GWB, he'd be yelling about Enron. (I know I am.)

New But.. how long might a War on Evil last? Hmmm?
Treating the uninvestigated members as POWs until 'evaluated' - was the ORIGINAL topic here. Those investigated and deemed to 'belong in custody' at our Cuban HQ - for forensically provable reasons - shall open the next can o' worms:

Are there *any* restrains on our handling of these prisoners that we will cop to? While they are waiting? - indefinitely - as surely the length of this WarOnEvil must be indefinite: because it is a nonsense phrase.

Propaganda will be the title of this next sub-War. What will we do with/to the lifers? And what will the world/allies make of the secrecy: I suppose that we won't allow any inspections.

Stay tuned - it may take longer than bringing M$ to some form of Murican Justice. And as far as we know - they only contributed to Ed Curry's death.
