How can we fight this new terrorist tactic? Are we prepared?

"They are smart. They are creative, they are committed. They have no regard for life, either ours or their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of ...warfare waged against us," Rear Adm. Harry Harris, commander of the Joint Task Force Guantanamo, said in a telephone news conference. (In reference to the three suicides at Guantanamo)

What, are there going to be hordes of Muslims rampaging across our borders with bedsheets to hang themselves with?

That has to be the most monumentally stupid thing said in regard to our current mess since the dumb-ass in chief said "Bring 'em on."

there, but I can't think of it right now.

there is no doubt in my mind that these men committed suicide because they had totally lost hope. How would any of us feel if we were captured and sent to a place far away, never allowed contact with our families, never given a trial or hope of a trial, never given a sentence to serve? This is the outcome of Bushco violating the Constitution, the Geneva Convention, and common human decency.

then their lives are worthless.

by the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we hailed...
at the twilight's last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright starts,
through the perilous night...

Prisoners killing themselves in these "acts of warfare against us."

Wow, they are killing themselves and it is an attack against us....

More Bushavistic logic for ya.

suicide themselves for a cause.. is not funny. Mostly a dead family or a few soldiers are attached to the other end of the suicide.

what would describe locking people up with no idea of a trial, no contact with lawyers or anyone else be an act of?

To defeat it, look to what others have done in the past to defeat propaganda and totalitarianism.

and will swallow this pablum as they're toldl to.

I see no alternative.

"That showed 'em, huh?"

they exposed us for what we are becoming-

In many ways HAVE become.

They have held up a mirror to our faces, and when we look at what we see, we can't face the truth-
so we say, it's not a mirror, it is a window- and 'we' aren't who we are-

Naked? us? wrong? us? Cruel? us? Law-breakers? us? Immoral? ....us?

Completely human and as capabible of evil, awful, selfish, arrogant, shit?????

USa- We need to own our own shit- really own it- and step down off our high horse and humble ourselves. We are no different than any other people on the earth- And we have screwed up royally-

The only question is, are we willing to face our 'ugly' truths? or simply continue down the road to ruin?


I'm tired of being ashamed- I'm tired of being helpless to stop this madness.

Will nothing shock this nation into reality????-
