General Dunford, the head of NATO occupation forces in Afghanistan, has sought to explain the latest “sudden cancellation” of a transfer of detainees at the Bagram prison facility, saying it stems from a “difference of opinion.”
That difference of opinion, Dunford says, is over whether or not those detainees, who are being held without ever having been charged with a crime or seen the inside of a courtroom, might conceivably ever be released, something the US is opposing.
“If there are people that need to be detained, we will make sure they are detained,” Dunford added, and this indeed has been the dispute that has kept the transfer “paused” for nearly a year and strained relations with the Karzai government.
The US has conditioned any returns on the detainees being held forever and never being tried. Karzai has insisted that he can’t promise that because Afghan courts might eventually compel a trial for the detained and, lacking good evidence, some of them might end up released. Since the US seems determined to never accepting a trial, this could mean a protracted fight over those detainees.
The enemy is not them, the enemy is we. Surely we and our being so ingrate toward our Creator as to think that we deserve more, to a man deserve more when we don’t even deserve this day of life… For we all strive to “Be All You Can Be,” earn all you can earn, take all you can take, own all you can own and to be a dictator over all who are on land that you own… So, the purpose of this world is to reach the ultimate conclusion of mental darkness, which is an illusion of good hiding misery, with every man a liar using illusions of good to enrich himself upon the misery of those in a lower class… The end result being a mixture of good and evil such that no one can tell if their doing good until after the fact, when they invariably discover to their horror that all their actions have only added to the misery… For it is written, “Babylon, land of deepest shadow and deep darkness, where even light is like darkness.”
"…because Afghan courts might eventually compel a trial for the detained and, lacking good evidence, some of them might end up released…"
As would any US court. And therefore, the (illegal and immoral) justification by the warmongers for places like Abu Ghraib and GITMO.
