The_Wicked_Man El Yo i must say i support the law. the critics seem to be just blowing things out of proportion in an attempt to hurt bush's approval rating even more You're right. We really don't need things like search warrants, fair trials by jury, or Habeas Corpus, and we should certainly throw people in permanent detention without even accusing them of a crime. I am so happy we have a President like George W. Bush to show complete disregard for the Bill of Rights. who wouldn't want that! and just think of all the bad things bush is covering up. there is so much he is doing, and already has done, but it gets filtered out of the news. you either have to listen to air america radio (1600 am) or watch the daily show and the colbert report on comedy central each nite. ug he is such a b*****d!

El Yo if u read it you will see that all us citizens are not stripped of those rights If you read the US Constitution, you will see that all rights and priviledges granted to Americans are extended to non-citizens for the duration they are on US soil. Therefore, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 is still 100% unconstitutional, unamerican, and unforgivable, and your argument in favor of the bill is still completely unjustified.

And this is a "war on terrorism" according to mister B.

And well the critics are not only blowing it to get bushes popularity ratings down, he is doing a good enough job of that himself! The critics hate him because he brags out liberty and justice but when it comes down to applicating theory... well he really sucks at it!

Wow.
Can't read it at all.
But the discussion has to do with Bush and the Bill of Rights, as far as I can gather.

purple richie actually it doesn't only defy the constitution, it defies many international laws such as the Geneva convention, which protected the prisonners of war. Yes, the bill does this, too. How barbaric; I can't even tell if Bush is waging a war on terrorism or of terrorism. Given the administration's own policies on bombing and threatening civilian populations in Afghanistan and their stance on torture, I would conclude the latter.

Guantanimo Bay is still US soil, and the detainees (for whatever reason they are there) are supposed to receive the same rights and priviledges as American prisoners and those accused of crimes.

If not, then nobody in the camp--not even the army officers and soldiers--would have any rights; it would be entirely possible to kill a commanding officer and not be charged with a crime.
