HI: AS A NATIVE AMERICAN [MOHAWK TRIBE]WE HAD A WAY TO TREAT OUR ENEMIES. WE STAKED THEM ON AN ANT HILL. WE SKINNED THEM ALIVE. WE THREW THEM INTO A RATTLE SNAKE PIT. WE ROASTED THEM ALIVE. IN ANY CASE WE LEFT THEM FOR THE BUZZARDS. THIS WORKED FOR US. AFTER ALL THEY WERE OUR ENEMIES. THERE WAS NO GENEVA CONVENTION IN OUR AMERICA.

GITMO IGNORAMUSES STRIKE AGAIN

One of the most common complaints about Guantanamo Bay is that the detainees have been denied trials. Sen. John McCain made these charges on Meet the Press yesterday: “The weight of evidence [in Guantanamo Bay] has got to be that…

OK, we close down Guantanamo… what next?

There’s a big push going on calling for Camp X-Ray, where about 520 prisoners from the War On Terror are being held. Setting aside the debatable question of “torture” allegedly going on there, let’s for a moment say we do…

I have two suggestions: (1) We rend these bastards back to their homelands via static line jump from 600 feet out the back of a C-130. With a nice round canopy and some smoke flares attached to their boots, the locals could track their progress so they could, er, welcome them home, Afghani-style. With light winds, they would be strung up and fed to the buzzards before lunchtime. (2) Shoot the bastards on the battlefield after ascertaining they are illegal combatants. (Buzzards could still participate afterwards.)

The downside is we couldn’t squeeze them for intel. The upside is we wouldn’t have to listen to the acolytes of William Kunstler, and associated asshats like Dick Durbin mouth off every day. Seems like a fair trade–especially given that the lower-rung grunts probably don’t have much intel to begin with.

we went to afganistan to get osama bin laden. thrashing the taliban was means to that end or a byproduct of that effort. we have stayed to help a new government get started. the people held at gitmo are those that would probably cause trouble for the new govarnment. are we not simply holding these people until the current government is ready to deal with them? why would we ever try these people? and yet we cannot simply turn them loose.
