Open Your Eye's!
Guantanamo aint shit.
Guantanamo is political.
This should be one of the last things on their leftist menu.
But it's not!
The Atrocities that are happening right now that AI is'nt saying a word about(or very little)make guantanamo look like Heaven.
And Don't ask me for some long winded psycobabble-ish responce to what these Atrocities are.
There are far much worse things than this and you know it!
But there not in the forefront...mmmmm wonder why?
Nope.. lets pay attention to the death camp qualitys of Guantanamo.
The scourge of humanity.
They never accuse anything leftist except when their forced by the fact the world has knowledge of it.
AI is as anti American as the UN.
Oh yeah their hard core anti-semetic too!

s&a you be talking out your asss.

[ShockAndAwe^i^]

Talking out my ass?
Ok...This is proving my point.
The only people that love and trust this Org. are the same people with a left thinking head and those with an anti American agenda.
Note I seperated the two.
Is there anyone else that will defend this Org.besides those on the left and those with an axe to grind against the US?
Remember.... we know who you are!

Well if we do it's cause you told us, ya know.

[ShockAndAwe^i^]

I did!
I told you people too much.
I guess I wanted to let eveyone know a bit about me and where I was coming from and where I had been after those very first posts here.

Well.. time for another

But which one should I take?
"The Red one or the Blue one"?

How come they moved conspiracy theories?
It's a conspiracy I tell ya!

I think anybody who could peruse a comprehensive list of human rights violations around the world would note a rather large discrepancy between the chartered purpose (aim) of A.I. and it's actual focus.

It is fact that any potential violations by the U.S., perceived or actual, go automatically to the top of the A.I. charts.

It is also true that many heinous and barbaric acts receive no attention whatsoever from A.I.

In answer to those who accuse A.I. of left-wing bias, I would say a U.S. "transgression" occurring under a Democrat Chief Executive would surely be censured, albeit in slightly muted fashion.

The point is, as in all other endeavors supposedly humanitarian in nature, that it is still possible to "follow the money", or in this case, the profitability.

It helps to remember that A.I. is peopled largely by lawyers (sorry, tide ), who are guided by their basest instincts-"nature of the beast" and all that.

As to the situation at Guantanamo, the only complaints not of the "WE DON'T LIKE IT HERE" variety had to do with religious strictures on diet and worship, and the accomodation of same. These were addressed in rather short order by the camp administrators.

I found it ironic that, while this farce continues, A.I. demonstrates so little awareness of other things going on in Cuba.

Where was A.I. when Saddam was gigging in Iraq? Where were all the successful proscecutions in the "World Court"?

The CNN article suffers from the expected and typical lack of specificity as regards actual violations.

This link provides an answer...

I think the fact the 'news' is full of reports about Guantanamo and we did'nt hear much about other cases has more to do with the media then with AI's intentions. I'm afraid crimes by some small unimportant country are'nt very 'newsworthy'.....


was'nt there a thread about biased media....

Yea, verily; I say unto thee:

"Mivaro, thou speaketh the truth".

But:

Shouldn&#39;t A.I. assume some of the fact-finding burden, given their stated mission?

Doesn&#39;t being detained for over a year with no charges being brought count?
