"The United States is currently charged with illegal rendition in Italy."
"If the trial does go forward, it will tantalize with a possible glimpse of the darker side of the American fight against terrorism - broadly, whether the Bush administration overreached, overstepping the laws of allies like Italy, since the 9/11 attacks." - Washington Post
look up rendition on wikipedia if you do not know what it is. (p.s. watch the movie rendition if you haven't yet)
(about guantanamo bay...)
"The Bush Administration has insisted for more than five years that a central legal pillar of the war on terrorism is that the military alone has the power to decide which foreign terrorism suspects should be held and for how long, and backing away from that would be a sharp change of course."
"Before any detainees can be moved, officials have said that they would need to find or build a secure site in the United States and that they would need legislation allowing detainees deemed to be a threat to be held “until the end of hostilities” in the war on terror, even if they were not charged with war crimes. Under current proposals, scores of detainees might continue to be held indefinitely without facing criminal charges."
are either of these policies FAIR or MORAL. come on now, seriously...
comments anyone?
