Mccain makes me sick, I hope he lose in the Election.
Just think, he we a POW himself.

He is as dirty as they come, Mccain is unfit to be our President.

"I think it's one of the worst decisions in history," McCain said. "It opens up a whole new chapter and interpretation of our constitution."

McCain is one of the authors of the 2006 Military Commissions Act which set up procedures for the handling of detainees. The act denied the detainees access to federal courts.

The Supreme Court on Thursday said that provision of the law violated the constitution.

Good one McCain. It'll be one of the worst decisions in history when we actually start obeying the constitution?

he attacked the decision, saying the law he helped write "made it very clear that these are enemy combatants, they are not citizens, they do not have the rights of citizens."

How about humans..? Are they humans? Because I'm pretty sure that there's at least some human rights laws that George hasn't unsigned yet.

Just more of the same crap that's destroyed America's standing in the world and made a mockery of everything good we've ever done.

What would he do if he got into office and didn't have his boogey men sitting down in Cuba?

Weren't there a bunch of stories out about how the majority of these people we detain are not enemy combatants found out on the 'battlefield', but rather people handed over by authorities/citizens?

In Afghanistan we pay good money for those 'combatants' and the ruling class (war/drug lords) are all too happy to get some free money. The byproduct of the state sponsored 'people trade'.

Whatever though, they are evil, they are the enemy, they are these things in spite of being proven innocent.

edit: I shouldn't have to add this but: Of course I realize that not all those detained have been proven innocent or are innocent.

Let's not kid ourselves though; many, many are innocent.

Thanks to guys like McSame and laws like the Military Commissions Act, citizens don't have the rights of citizens.

Most of these guys in Guantanamo are poor peasants who were captured by corrupt Afghans and turned over to the U.S. military for bounty money. The whole thing is disgusting.

McCain is playing for the Republicans who do not like him or his record. What the court did and how it has added rights to aliens of the USA is not for this thread.

McCain is looking for free headlines and publicity, which is what this article has done. I don't know what it would take for me to change back to a Republican nod towards the prez position, but this ain't it.

A major victory for civil liberties?Hmm a known terrorist deserves the same standing as a law abiding US citizen who doesnt kill someone from disagreeing with them?Strange ruling indeed.This is the same guy who wants the death penalty for himself too i think.Hard to believe a person who doesnt respect his own life would respect other life as well.But thats just my opinion.
