US and UK motto's since 9/11 has been "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" (in times of war, the laws fall silent) in essence they dont care how many international laws they break, theyve broken so many laws theyve lost sight of what were fighting for, how do we preach the rule of law to the middle east when we throw it out the window in the name of counter-terrorism, is this justice now?

what do you think?

 

I think it's naive people like yourself that let Hitler re-establish post WWI Germany for another go at it.

Amen!  Some Sufi fanatical jihadist does not give one damn about rights so long as he "kills the infidels Ins'allah and gets to paradise for the 72 virgins."  But oh what the hell give the mass murderers and beheaders a break once in a while.  They sure are fun to go chill and have a beer with!

Edit: And another thing.  My 11th grade history teacher was stationed @ Camp X-ray and if the rat-fink's meals or Qurans weren't just right they would get punished by the COs.  The average detainee there gains around 30 pounds due to the quality of care and food selection all prepared specially by the USN.  It is actually a far cry from the caves and squalor that they are used to in Afghanistan and much better than desert and heat in Iraq.

So we fed them well. That still doesn't make Gitmo right.

International Law is a joke (which is what this thread is really about), but I won't sit back and condone the abusive double-standard that Bush enacted during his Presidency. To hold yourself as the greatest country on Earth and promote freedom, liberty, and all that other rhetoric yet still operate on the standards of Gitmo is hypocritical at best, absolutely deplorable at worst.

I actively cheered on Obama for shutting down that public relations nightmare just days after taking the Presidency.
