Neither the White House nor the Pentagon have figured out that no matter where you go, you can't hide from the law. Nobody and no place is exempt.

Who really gives a rip. These bottom of the food chain, pieces of what some call human, ought to be held until the end of the war. Sure wouldn't want someone I captured, getting out and shooting me, after he was captured and released. Really really dumb, to release any of them.

Too bad that this is really just a bunch of B.S. If it were really true I would hope that the ships were used for torpedo practice when full.

Who said the war on terror was gonna be pretty?
To all those being held prisoner, please accept my deepest apologies if in fact you are innocent of any wrongdoing.
There, it's all better now.

With a new administration which values the Constitution and respects our laws, we can hope for investigations and prosecutions of war crimes. The Pentagon takes this seriously, hence destroying taped evidence. It will be a brighter day for America to punish our own lawlessness and move forward.

Good, and I hope they threw a few of them overboard - that is the ultimate water boarding.

If you knew the layout of these ship classes
you would know they don't have that kinda of capacity.

According to research carried out by Reprieve, the US may have used as many as 17 ships as "floating prisons" since 2001. Detainees are interrogated aboard the vessels and then rendered to other, often undisclosed, locations, it is claimed.

"Reprieve research may have used has many has 17 ships since 2001"

You named:
Bataan
Pelielu
Ashland

Thats three. If the reserch was so extensive what were the names of the other fourteen?

And if they were so what. They kept their heads didn't they. Unlike AQ and Taliban POWS or hostages. Oh wait there's no such thing has a living AQ hostage or POW. Yeah, and we're the bad guys.

Where the F ck was Reprieve and Amnesty Int. when Nick Berg needed help? I didn't hear any cry of outrage when we found Spc Maupin buried in a shallow grave after being missing for 3 years or more in Iraq.

I got two words for Reprieve and Guardian FU K YOU!!!

Hey stop using my name, I am really tired of you folks using my name, to hide your identities and anti-American agenda, because I think putting the Terrorists in prison on ships is a great idea, better yet, forget water boarding just drag them behind the boat! Additionally, they are in International Waters and the laws here do not apply, terrorists are not prisoners of war, do not get the Geneva Convention, and its offshore in international waters. The US is following the laws.
