Where is Amnesty International? Where is the ACLU?	ETWolverine	06/14/06
Did you know that there are 7 young soldiers currently being held in jail without charges being filed against them? Did you know that they are behind bars fo 23 hours a day in 8x8 cells, and can only see their families through a plexiglass window and wearing hand and leg shackles? These men are the ones being investigated for the Haditha "massacre" which nobody is sure even happened. The investigation is still ongoing. So where is the ACLU demanding the civil rights of THESE prisoners? Where is Amnesty International to demand that the cruelty against these prisoners be stopped? Where is the outcy from the left of "cuel and unusual punishment" and "torture of prisoners"? Where is John McCain to decry the treatment of these prisoners? Where is John Murtha's alleged support for the military soldiers, rather than his assumption of guilt before the facts are even in? Oh, I forgot. Those rules don't apply to soldiers or those who support and accomplish GWB's policies. None of that liberal "rights of the accused" stuff for them. That only applies to criminals and terrorists, not soldiers who fight and bleed and die for their country. Elliot
Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 06/14/06 1:40 pm: they are being held hostage . Clarification/Follow-up by ETWolverine on 06/14/06 1:55 pm: Who? Amnesty International? Yes, I think they are being held hostage by their left-wing bias. The troops? I don't know what their legal status is. I just know that they aren't guilty of anything yet, and even criminals get released on bail. Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 06/14/06 2:37 pm: I noted that based on this posting which refered to the Gitmo detainees as "hostages " . Clarification/Follow-up by ETWolverine on 06/14/06 3:17 pm: Good point. Clarification/Follow-up by Itsdb on 06/14/06 5:03 pm: You want even more good news? "Sixty percent of people surveyed in a CBS News poll say it's now somewhat or very likely that the United States will eventually succeed in Iraq, a 5-point rise since last month. Forty-eight percent of respondents in a USA Today/Gallup poll believe the United States would probably or definitely win the war, up from 39 percent in April." "In the wake of terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's death, President Bush is seeing improvement in public confidence that the Iraq war is winnable, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows. The new poll found that 48% believe the United States probably or definitely will win the war, up from 39% in April. It also found that 47% believe things are going well in Iraq, up from 38% in March. The survey, taken Friday to Sunday and released Monday, also showed Bush's approval rating going up to 38% from 36% earlier this month and an all-time low of 31% in May... Fifty-three percent said the killing of Zarqawi was a "major achievement." Clarification/Follow-up by ETWolverine on 06/14/06 5:22 pm: Hully crap. I hadn't seen those poll numbers. Those are huge gains for Bush. Thanks for the post.
