I guess I have the same level of trust in both cases. Neither amounts to complete trust or complete distrust. Yer tinfoil hat needs adjustment, man. You didn't pick up the radio signal on this one. The documentation is faked by the government, of course. There's nothing they can't control. barfo
Don't you think it could be? How much effort would it really be to set up a WikiLeaks con? Maybe there is another reason he's hiding in an embassy? Also... really, Wikileaks has evidence showing that every Gitmo detainee was captured on the battlefield? Do tell. barfo
I think govt. is incompetent. It's politicians who are liars. You are setting up some strawman that isn't my view of things. To this day, I find it remarkable that the W administration kept telling us they didn't find WMDs in Iraq. Every time it was reported something was found, they came up with some reason why it wasn't WMDs. Here's a list of Gitmo detainees, 558 of them. Knock yourself out figuring out which ones weren't caught on the battlefield (e.g. outside the USA): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Guantanamo_Bay_detainees
This list of Guantánamo detainees is compiled from various sources and is incomplete. It lists the known identities of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp in Cuba. In official documents, the US Department of Defense (DoD) continues to make intermittent efforts to redact detainee's names, and has not published an official list of detainees...
Which leads me to assume they don't want to release the names. Which leads you to assume the government is reading your mind with mind reading ray guns.
I'll jump on board with thinking this is a good post. I especially agree with the first part, people tend to accept these kind of actions from a president they like. Maybe it is because they trust these kinds of orders when they trust the president, but in any event, both sides do this and there will always be someone from the other side complaining about it.
