Studious silence (1.00 / 1) (#11)

Amazing how TL nitpicks Gitmo, but when Iran commits an act of war in Iraqi territorial waters - and then violates the Geneva convention in their treatment of the sailors they grabbed - we get utter silence.

For the left, rules don't apply to the enemy - only to us.

Well, excuuuuse me, but Gitmo is contrary to the GenCons, The Convention Against Torture, and the US Constitution. Yeah, right, nitpicking constitutional and international war crimes.

How amusing, 3 of the the sailors involved admitted their guilt ... unless you think their confessions were obtained thru torture!? BTW, the US allows testimony obtained thru torture.

BTW, the US has paraded many captives on TV ... where was your outcry then of breaking international laws!?
