Actually, the so called "terrorists" are people just like you and me, they want to be free, and dont like when the USG invades their land, steals their oil and minerals(where do you think the metals in your cell phone come from?????)... If china came over here and occupied our land, and we fought back against them, would you consider yourself a terrorist also??? HELL NO YOU WOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF A PATRIOT... Thats all, they are fighting for themselves. and right to be free from oppression/big brother telling them how to live their life.. keep that in mind when you throw blame around

Your pictures are offensive and disgusting and nothing portrayed by you here has not already been done by Christians and others many years ago. You forget the Spanish inquisition and the Taking By Sword of Jerusalem by Christians ? ( That means EVERYBODY WAS DECAPITATED NO EXCEPTIONS ) These people are SICK no doubt But I think you have a few RACE problems your self.

Those aren't my pictures, but you're right: They ARE offensive; and they show the true face of Islam - from Indonesia to Gaza - which is, in the end, nothing but a death cult.

Now I know this would never, EVER happen. But the best way to collapse our govt? EVERYONE QUIT THEIR JOBS. How will the govt fund all these disgusting things they are doing without us, the SLAVES working FOR them?
Just food for thought but it would work. I for one, would make the necessary sacrifices, and barter and trade on a personal level. (and already do to a major extent) I just wonder what the govt would do...? Interesting thing to think about.

First of all, you have to realize that this is not a criminal matter. We are at WAR with a group of people who wish to destroy our way of life and subjugate us to their law, religion, and culture. Our mission as a nation is to defeat the enemy by any means necessary - or at least that what it should be. We are certainly not there to arrest, try, and incarcerate them.

Why don't you go to Arlington and tell me that. Why don't you tell the young man, whom I helped through his training so that he could make his Dad proud of him, and he could wear the same Uniform his Father did in Viet Nam Proudly.
I can take you to his grave in Arlington, I can show you the photos of his wife, crying in my husband's and my arms, I was his XPO I was responsible for him and I let him down, because I did not bring him home to his wife.
Why don't you tell my Husband that who lost his sister on 9/11. My husband who had just retired as a Lt. Colonel after 30 years of service right before 9/11. His career that began in a Huey over the Rice Paddies of Viet Nam so long ago. My husband who begged to get back in the Army then spent two tours in the Sand Box!
Oh I could go on and on and on, and on.
My brothers and sisters in uniform are not Murderers! They are defending our nation and you and should have the very, very same right to defend themselves by any means allowed under the Geneva Convention. Which pretty much allows anything in this case. There is an old saying about the Geneva Convention that those that were in the military might remember - and know is true.
However, I will merely remind you it was they who ATTACKED US!

Such ignorance, and from someone that otherwise seems to be "on" about other subjects (based on your blog). So, since when did the acts of a few extremists justify the annihilation of countless innocents? Watch FOX news much in the last 11 years? Seriously!

You just offended a WHOLE religion ?
Because of your own lack of understanding,
As you said from Indonesia to Gaza these are SEPARATE RACES and Islam is a RELIGION practised in many different ways just as Christianity is ? And not everybody in Indonesia and Gaza is Muslim.
Its the sly smugness that people find offensive by the way.

Who primed it is the only intelligent thing you said here. You are too concerned with party lines.
Again a steady progression is evident no matter what "party" is in power. Troops are increased by both sides, civil rights are reduced by both sides, etc etc
You can read the same news story on any other news website, like salon.com, chicago tribune, etc...but I'm sure they all have right-winged agendas, right?
In short what I'm saying is, who cares what the source of the information is...it happend. And it scares me deeply that your primary concern is what television channel aired it and not the INHUMANITY of what our country just did.
Truly sad on your part.
If that's what you got out of my post, then all I can say is that there used to be things like tigers, tar pits, and steep cliffs that weeded that sort of oblivious unawareness from our species.
Of course it happened. I did say that, and I certainly don't support it in the least. However, the source is important.
Not too long ago, Fox news was in support of these sort of policies. Every day Americans were told that these "terrorists" needed to be locked up. They were told that trials would cost money and that these "terrorists" would attack America if they went free. Americans were terrorized by Fox News, with the notion of "terrorists" being put into their neighborhood. The message from Fox News was, very plainly, keep them locked up no matter what.
And Fox news has now changed its stance, now that obama has done just what they were supporting for so long. And their viewers - perhaps yourself included - have all of a sudden discovered how unconscionable indefinite incarceration is.
While the change is nice, one has to realize, it'll change right back, and the viewers will go with that change, at a moment's notice. Further, the sudden criticism from this quarter has nothing to do with the morality of the move. Fox news is, of course, presenting it as that devil obama's doing. No mention of, as you like, "who primed it."
Basically, the source is only taking its stance because of who is in office. It is doing so after long supporting these same measures, and scaring US voters into supporting them as well. It is abundantly clear that if Obama backs down on it, Fox news will, once again, loudly support indefinite detention. And they will, as usual, bring their gleefully blind voting viewers along for the ride.
Of course this "executive order" is unconscionable. We're in agreement there. However, I think that pointing out the partisan duplicity of the source being used is also important. Apparently, you can't accept any questioning of that source.
