Oh I see.

You tell a deliberate lie - you say I manipulated facts to fit a preconceived conclusion - then you spinelessley squirm out of owning up to the fact. You gutlessly throw out an unsupported accusation, then run away.

You prefer the childish approach as dummy-spit back with a "Your opinion is irrelevant to me"

I have manipulated no facts - but I have repeatedly demonstrated your ignorance of the subject:

- You think that a person who has been caught firing on invading armed forces should be labelled a "terrorist".

- You do no understand the provisions of the Geneva Conventions, in particular Articles 5 and 17 of the Third Geneva Convention.

- You cannot cite a legal basis for the detentions without charge at Guantanamo Bay

Breaking international law is not "an internal issue" 2 Australians were illegally detained and allegedly tortured at Guantanamo Bay - so it is most definitely an Australian issue. A Canadian child has been illegally detained and allegedly tortured at Guantanamo Bay - so it is most definitely a Canadian issue too. It is an issue for every nation that is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions.

You are a classic example of why many people in the world consider Americans to be ignorant and stupid. You know nothing about the facts ofthe issue - and instead of learning them - you close your eyes and put you fingers in your ears.

No many answers coming from you, are there. Your last few posts have been pathetic posturing; talking about "educating" me and my "misconceptions". How about some details?


Why do you think that a person who has been caught firing on invading armed forces should be labelled a "terrorist". What is your definition of a "terrorist"?

- How has the USA satified the provisions of Articles 5 and 17 of the Third Geneva Convention?

- What is the legal basis for the detentions without charge at Guantanamo Bay?

Any answers? Or just more evasion?
