  How is such a headline possible ?http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5068606.stmIs there a single Republican who can buy that ?   
  yeah, i think this represents a new high in orwelian rethoric.   ;  ...Didn't the U.N. tell the U.S. a few weeks ago to close Guantanamo?   ;  Bush says he wants to close it down and trial the detainees in the US.

When tried in the US, most of these people will most likely be found not guilty and released, something the American policy maker doens't want to happen, because it sees these people as a 'treat'.Toolmaker   ;Quote:Bush says he wants to close it down Yeah, and he also found WMDs in Iraq. [rolleyes]Found the article! Also, a  Saudi lawyer blames US for suicidesIt wouldn't surprise me if the Republicans use this as a spin on their threat. "They killed themselves out of guilt for killing Americans!!111" or something.   ;  Jihadists throwing their lives to hurt the US.
