Our rights are the rights of Englishmen. Strange the British didn’t believe in this nor did Blackstone mention this. Can you assist me in where these rights existed? Or are they like the privacy rights the Supreme Court also says we have which are so detailed in the Constitution.

Is Obama really going to bring these people back to the US and try them here? I doubt it. I suppose they’ll be handed over to the Afghanistani authorities.

When you’re cannon fodder for an insurgency, the last thing you want to have happen to you is for the authorities to treat you as if you’re a criminal. That’s what they do just before they execute you for murder and treason.

It’s much better if they treat you as a prisoner of war. Then you get to go home and grow old after the war is over.

See, you people don’t love El Uno as much as I do!!! You see, El Uno is showing the world he loves them and while our blessed leader says he doesn’t want to impose our way of life on the world, he feels that allowing his Muslim brethren to see how compassionate and kind we are, it may make them not want to blow us up anymore.
The only thing I see coming out of this is a lot of dead Tangos. You don’t have to read rights to someone who just assumed room temperature.

The Constitution? To those ass holes its just an old document encased for viewing and its suggestions can be used as advice for those much wiser than the people who created this nation.

I think you would have enjoyed my rant on the subject last week when my boss (the owner of the company) made the mistake of asking what I thought on the subject. Sounded a lot like the second half of your post along with the vocabulary of a drunken soldier.

I really should learn to watch my tongue in the workplace, but I think my co-workers ask now just because they need cheap entertainment.
