#4 ..why did this even make it to the Supreme Court?

Bottom line. Congress' unwillingness to impeach judges who make up law and fill the appeal dockets with stuff like this. The royal judiciary's insatiable appetite for power to impose its view of civilization upon the rest of us knows no bounds.

#5 I've finally decided to come out for the immediate transfer of all Guantanamo detainees to the United States, specifically to Washington, DC. I also DEMAND that they be transported behind a Arleigh Burke-type Destroyer, on a long rope (no life preserver, boat, or other protective devices), along with a half-butchered steer, from Guantanamo to DC, at 20 knots. The survivors will be allowed a speedy trial with a jury of their "peers" - all retired IDF generals.

These people do not fall under the Geneva Conventions, nor are they citizens or resident aliens of the United States. They are TERRORISTS - the lowest form of life on Planet Earth. Staking them out naked in a Sahara dust storm or on top of the Greenland icecap is too good for them. If we've pumped them dry, cut their throats and feed them to the sharks.

#8 A bit difficult EC, raise your hand and agree to go anyway, anytime, and do anything, eat chow in the rain, see your buddies never come home, work your way through the ranks to retirement... only to see some leftest bastid pi** it all away.

#11 I've just spoken to him.
If you followed the "Kunduz affair", not too amused as you can guess.
Troops think that Berlin should make up its mind whether Talibs can be fought with more than cotton pads.
