#1 I'm beginning to think that allowing terrorists to surrender is too big of a hassle. I'm sure that you can get some enough intel off their hard drives and cells phones. Authorize hollow points for use against terrorists.

#2 Terrorists will play the abuse and humiliation card if it works. If they succeed in some nasty domestic attacks, the public will not give a rodent's behind what the authorities do with them if they are caught. Actually, being faced with the business end of a german shepherd snout will instill a healthy dose of fear into someone determined to cause mischief.

#3 Why is it only terrorists can be abused and 'humiliated'?

That is the only kind of abuse the media reports. What about Sudan? What about the UN's sex for food program in Nigeria (where UN Guards would exchange food for sex with teenage girls)?

#4 I know I'm a little slow on the up-take,but why is a threat of transfer to Gitmo a violation of someone's human rights?

#5 Human Rights Watch is engaged in the mission of undermining America's allies. They know that only America will pressure friendly countries into taking the steps that will lead to their government's overthrow. It is interesting to note that in East Asia, most of the countries that were America's staunch allies before the US engineered the toppling of their dictators are now essentially neutral, bordering on hostile - Indonesia, South Korea and the Philippines are cases in point. By contrast, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, who are under the old authoritarian rulers, remain relatively staunch in their cooperation with the US, whatever their public utterances.

#6 Some suspects have been told they will be handed over to the US authorities at Guantanamo Bay. . .

And the prisoners are then supposed to behave?

Dang. Are we bad, or are we bad!

#7 Also, are they telling the prisoners that Lyndie England will be guarding them once they get to Cuba?

"Arf, Arf!"
