8 questions while the sappy hysterical euphoria dazzle all their mind
bullet.jpg
When Saddam was captured he did not wear an regular uniform but he had two AK 47 Kalashnikov so he was not captured

as a regular soldier but by american prescribed terminology as a terrorist. By U.S. propaganda Saddam was

accountable for all 'terror attacks' in the last eight months against U.S. tantalizer and their vassals. To be

suspected as terrorist is the explanatory statement of U.S. criminals for all iniquitous arrested people on

Guantánamo

1. Why Hussein is treated as a prisoner of war by conditions of Geneva Convention in consideration of these

expressed facts?

2. Why 10.000 Iraqis are arrested as lawless criminals and terrorist suspects and not as a prisoner of war by

conditions of Geneva Convention?

3. Why 600 prisoners are arrested on Guantánamo as lawless criminals and terror suspects and not as prisoner of war

by conditions of Geneva Convention?

4. Why Jack Straw can claim two days after capture Saddam that he will not say anything about Weapons of Mass

Destruction?

5. Since when the U.S. tantalizer does not use torture to squeeze a confession? Several resistance fighters died

after brutal interrogations by U.S. and UK troops

6. Is it possible that the conviction of Straw is traced back to the fact that WMD's does not exist?

7. Is it possible that this is not the real Saddam, a marketing gag, so he can't know anything about WMD's?

8. Is it possible that this shown double-dealer are simply criminal assholes?

I would like to answer your 8 points if I may:
1) Saddam Hussein is the former President of Iraq and therefore would be labeled as a POW. He could never be tried as a terrorist (unless by his own people). In international courts he is a POW. What would Adolf Hitler be described as if the allies would have gotten him alive? Answer: a POW.
2) A soldier who is captured is a POW. A civilian insighting terror by straping explosives to themselves (or a vehicle) to kill people is a terrorist.
3) If 600 prisoners are arrested as lawless criminals (which would constitute looting, rape, murder etc.) they would not be terrorists (see #2 above). They could be terror suspects though. The definetly wouldn't be POW's.
4) If you knew you would be executed by your people and a confession would only justify your enemies actions would you confess? He will never confess. I know I wouldn't.
5) I would like a source for this one. As a veteran I find this statement offensive and completely uncalled for. Our interrogation procedures are in-line with the Geneva convention. Do you think the military would open themselves up for attack from the ACLU and other Liberal organizations. Please....
6) Or maybe he fully understands my #4.
7) Fact vs. Fiction. Is it difficult for Liberals to accept the fact we got him? It is one less 'I told you so' they can use against President Bush.
8) Post election loss blues? I have yet to see a 'double deal'. In poker if it happens to you it is a good thing is it not? Sorry about that one... I couldn't resist.
