Whether the occupation ends in 2014 or continues for decades to come, Afghanistan has made it clear they are no longer comfortable with the US using them as a place to keep foreign detainees.
The US has long treated Afghanistan as a win-win on detention, treating it like Guantanamo Bay in that it is outside of the US itself, but also insisting that because it is sovereign Afghan soil, the US courts can’t even have the nominal oversight they’ve had on other detainees’ treatment.
What’s a country to do when they need a new legal black hole? One answer would be the naval brig in Charleston, SC according to Sen. Lindsay Graham (R – SC), who says the military could keep them there forever on the grounds that Afghanistan is a war zone and anyone held there must be a prisoner of war.
That might be a tough case to make, since the US has sent some of the detainees to Afghanistan specifically to keep them out of the court system, and officials keep arguing the Afghan War is essentially over at any rate. Graham insisted he opposes any trials for any of the detainees unless they are 100% confident of a conviction, and that otherwise they should just extend the detentions.
Lindsay: if the government is 100% sure of a conviction, what is the point of a trial?
Another example of how government officials and employees feel that the law does not apply to them. This is tyranny in action.
THEY are above law and reailty. They are building your country as an asylum. One example: Al Gueda is simply the name of a list of persons presumed to be connected as either terrorists, supporters, or "connected". Say – his brother was listed, now he gets listed. Everything lept out of law, reason, order, civilisation… Pure power play.
Another list is of some people in Russia presumed to be very rich. If Russia does not play after the American scriot – the true Scriptures of the modern world,, the Unitet States of Absurdity has decided, that congress can persecute persons on the list without anything like trials, defence, proof.. Because these madmen at the congress consider themselves BLESSED into superhumans with superior rights by some people in the fog of American reality.
MADMEN! Please go home, and stay home, like you promised at the outset! Especially when one is clearly dominated by psyciatricat lunatics. This is is madness for the rest of the world. Who are the greatest dangers to the world? The foreign terrorists, disorganised and lightly armed, or the American world terrorists, heavily armed, unscrupulous, very organized and heavily influencing most of the leaders of the world?
