Granted, your enemies are even worse.

They are worse in concept and theory - but they don't have the money or logistics to really pull it off.


Your previous statement was accurate because we do have the logistics and 'money' (read resources) to pull it off...

Do we hold people for years while torturing them for jay walking?


No. We do for lots of other crimes though.

And strangely, none of those people become terrorists.





And as usual, you have no clue if what you're saying is correct. This is known as Talking Out Yo Ass.

Lots of people learn to be drug dealers while in prison with a bunch of other drug dealers.


Dunno why it would be surprising that people would learn to be terrorists by being imprisoned with a bunch of them. Many of the people wrongly imprisoned probably hated the U.S. to begin with. When you get locked up and tortured for years for something you didn't do but maybe agreed with in the first place I don't think it's a stretch to think you might start to think "well if I'm gonna be locked up and tortured just for being brown maybe there is something to what these terrorists are saying."

I would probably become a terrorist if I were jailed with no trial for 7 years.

And tortured and told that you were a terrorist...

In the US someone you know is a murder often cannot be arrested because you cannot prove it. In War that is different. You might not be able to hang them but you can at least hold them into the war is over. Liberals have a hard time understanding that. A Germany solder captured at the start of WWII might well be the nices guy ever born. He will still be held until the end of the war. What is so hard for you guys to understand?

Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

War has not been declared since WWII.

And the 'war' on terror is neverending.

So yea, definitely some issues using the war defense. You are holding someone indefinitely when war has not been declared.

Uniformed soldiers =/ suspected terrorists.

Do you know why?

If the terrorists wore uniforms, you'd know who is admitting they are at war with us and i doubt anyone would have the issues regarding this topic. But when you can't tell who is who because they're in civilian clothes, that opens a door for abusing capture rules.

You need to prove they are the enemy. If you can't it's immoral to hold them. In nation wars, the uniform is proof.
