Either way, if they are really prisoners of war they should be afforded the benefits of the geneva convention since iraq actually has a recognized government now. I don't think they belong in guantanamo anymore. they should be in iraqi prisons and tried in iraqi courts or extradited to wherever they came from for trials. Britain has laws against inciting terrorism or violence, and some sorts of public speech which would have that motive are illegal. slippery slope that, i think freedom of speech is pretty important, i would rather it just be illegal to CARRY OUT acts of terrorism. perhaps if the speaker makes a clear and specific threat, maybe thats justifiable. either way, as an american I feel a lot that since we are the focus of all this attention for some reason we get a pretty bad rap for the mistakes and dumb things we do, more than we might if we were some other country. this kind of crap happens all the time, where is all the disgust at russia for what they have done and are doing to chechnya? where is the pressure on china to give their people some democracy, or to free tibet? where is the outrage at iran for their clear threats against israel?? instead, everybody seems to be so focused, so paranoid about what the US will do next, so caught up in telling us to stay the hell out of their business. i dunno, maybe that just all i hear because i'm not IN china or Iran, or russia. I still feel like we really get the short end of the publicity stick tho...[/quote]
