I get what you were talking about now. I ju...emily-<br />I get what you were talking about now. I just wasn't sure which people we were detaining you were talking about.<br /><br />But I think there's a difference between detaining people abroad and flying them to Guantanamo to illegally imprison them and detaining prisoners in theaters of war, such as at Bagram. I don't know what the practical solution is, because our military forces simply shouldn't be used as police in any country. Detaining prisoners of war--soldiers--is certainly not what we're doing right now, and that's a very discomforting reality.<br /><br />On another note, I agree with a lot of what Glenn Greenwald says but not how he says it. I don't think of him as a 'journalist' per se, because that would be like calling Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity 'journalists' when they are all really just pundits. Call me old-fashioned, but I think I should be able to read/watch the news without constantly thinking about what political/ideological narrative I'm being fed.<br /><br />Thanks for your post<br /><br /><a href="http://www.devoidof.info" rel="nofollow">www.devoidof.info</a>popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929227104023630320noreply@blogger.com
