Guantanamo: A ‘False Choice Between Our Safety and Our Ideals’?
If AQ fails to sign peace agreements will any of the aggrieved parties…
It’s integral to Islam that any kind of agreement signed with or made with the infidel would only be done for pragmatic, short term purposes and is non-binding. In other words, meaningless.
(I guess that’s how Iran pursues a nuclear weapon despite being a signatory (1968 !) to the Nonproliferation Treaty and an additional protocol in 2003)
Or how Hamas makes a hudna (suspension of hostilities) which is really just an excuse for a period of time to re-arm.
What’s really galling in all this Guantanamo mess (besides the hypocrisy of Leftists who have been wringing their hands over detainees simply as another means of needling the Bush administration)…what’s really galling is the perfect absurdity brought to us by many hundreds of legalistic minds that put us in a position that, if “tried”, KSM (& others) could get off because he was waterboarded !
This country is perfectly insane. It has more lawyers (reportedly) than all the other countries of the world combined and, apparently, they don’t have enough to do and have brought us into the theater of the absurd.
