this person said," They are not American citizens, they do not have the same rights as us." Ok I'm sure I'm going to start an arugment now. But just so you all know the government wasn't doing any harm to these men, like reports suggested. But personally I don't see why we should treat terrorists niceley or with decency.

he he, more commentary.
Wait a minute.. the troops are defending our rights to what? Demand that rulers of other countries step down? Are they defending our rights to invade other countries when they have weapons they can use against us? Are they defending our right to go after any country we think may be harbouring US terrorists? Should a country have these rights?I don't know about you, but I don't think it's a "right" to be able to invade a country.
Ok, you have heard of Human Rights right??? Things we believe we are entitled to because we are human? Breaching the "social contract" or law requires taking away some rights. And taking away your right to freedom is the biggest one of all, and the most humane at the same time. You don't have to like someone, but I can't see a good arguement for the morality of beating and torturing. Granted, it makes sense not to extend the right to bear arms to a conviceted felon or a prisoned terroris, and in that sense, they don't have exactly the same rights. However, we don't guarantee our rights in the Consitiution because we are citizens, we do it because we are human. Being from another country does not violate *why* we are guaranteed the rights not to have cruel and unusal punishment. -M
