Entry: Who Guards the Guardians? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/who_guards_the_guardians#29841 Post contents: You seem largely unfamiliar with the situation that exists in the various torture facilities that the U.S. government has set up around the world. There is nothing thate gives the U.S. the right to create a third category of combatant at their whim and then proceed to set forth a series of rules as they see fit. A series of rules and methods that they have not limited to either a.) non-citizens of the U.S., b.)individuals who haave committed a crime, C.) individuals who were intending to commit a crime. The tortuure facilities can just as easily be used on you or I or political opponents of the current government. Much like Lincoln's imprisonment of the Maryland legislature. An individual does have the right to defend himself if attacked, especially if they have not committed any kind of crime. In Afghanistan there were whole villages wiped out with no connection to Al Queda. There are a number of U.S. military and law enforcement who object to the imprisonment and torture of the so-called enemy combatants. As far as I know the individuals who attacked my fellow citizens died in the attack on those same citizens with the exception of a few individuals. I do not see it as a crime for one to protect their home wether or not they are wearing a uniform. You said that having a gun makes on and enemy combatant. So do you own any guns? I guess you should be the one committing suicide since you seem to have little use for the constitution. It was this document that was discarded to spy on American citizens in the war on terror.
