Proof of how much of an absolute failure the current system is. |

Maybe so. But torturing people sure isn't going to make friends out of anyone. |

Its probably largely why these guys have returned to battle. |

| I know if I was innocent and they detained me as soon as I got back I'd join the battle. |

The next large scale terrorist attack by people with an ingrained hatred of this country will prove that Bush's legacy has left us no better off. |

| One of the reasons I wouldn't mind killing a cop is that they've detained me five times without any convictions. Getting ed with like that really pisses a person off. |

Abdullah Salih al Ajmi went AWOL from the Kuwaiti Army to "do battle". he was captured in the battle Tora Bora well before the US invaded Iraq.
it wasn't that his team of American defense lawyers were that good. it was the fact that the government couldn't refute reasonable doubt.
he was released to the Kuwaitis where he and 6 other defendants were aquitted on a technicality.
at the end of his testimony during his Administrative Review Board hearing, prior to being re-patriated to Kuwait he said the following:

If I were in their place I would go out and look for terrorism all over the world like they did but I have a feeling it is going to be a just decision by the Americans. That is my feeling. I would do the same thing if I were in their shoes. I would capture the bad people, the terrorists and bring them over here and detain them. |
three years later he drove a truck loaded with 10,000lbs of explosives into a police station in Mosul and killed 14 fellow Muslims and injured 54 others. |

So you're arguing that we shouldn't have to try people? Or that the existence of reasonable doubt shouldn't be a cause for acquital? |

The roots of extremism run deep. Thanks for the back story. |
