U.S. holding 500 juvenile 'combatants' in jail

The U.S. military is holding about 500 juveniles suspected of being "unlawful enemy combatants" in detention centers in Iraq and has about 10 detained in Afghanistan, the United States has told the United Nations.

A total of 2,500 youths under the age of 18 have been detained, almost all in Iraq, for periods up to a year or more in President Bush's anti-terrorism campaign since 2002, the United States reported last week to the U.N.'s Committee on the Rights of the Child.

I THINK WE CAN DO WITHOUT BUSH AND MCCAIN'S TYPE OF FEAR-MONGERING THAT THEY CALL "EXPERIENCE" AND THEIR FAILED POLICIES THAT HAVE MADE IRAN STRONGER!

The Republicans aren’t doing so well lately.
What could be wrong? Maybe...

The economy going in to the toilet...$3.80+ for gasoline... TWO BOTCHED WARS, giving our troops tanks without much armor, providing substandard treatment in VA hospitals, making the U.S. a country that’s known around the world for TORTURING PEOPLE, then lying about it, doing NEARLY NOTHING ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, preaching on morals, then getting caught having sex in airport bathrooms.

Bush and McCain (McBUSH) have earned the new nickname, "REPUGnicans".

We probably are 180 degrees different political views. However I am tired of 3.80 for gas. Then the saudis refuse to produce more oil. Everything that happened to the Republican party they did to themselves.

So is there some magic age at which it's OK to plant bombs in a girl's school because you don't think they should be educated? At what age is is it OK to be caught building bombs, or shooting into a crowd of shoppers? A 14 year-old with a grenade or rifle will kill you just as dead as a 30 year-old. These aren't "children" who were just picked up off the street. Every one of them is there for a reason.

Simple re gas price, the Americans as a whole like cheap stuff, the Chinese make cheap stuff, look at Wal-Mart and Target .......... The chinese need oil to make cheep stuff, they can buy it with $.

Why should Saudi sell oil cheap otr increase production?

If the shoe was on the other foot (whicjhit will be in 20 years can you see the Americans selling oil from Anwar back to countries who have run out. NO WAY,

So suck up the high prices, you have yourselves to blame for letting all those jobs and industries go to the land of slave labor.

Buy American, Demand American, stop importing from China until they import equally from USA.

Refuse to buy Chinese junk, buy only American trucks with american parts mde by american hands.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE!!! many parts from non US factories.

Put em on a chain gang. You kill people in America you go to jail. What's the difference?

Bush couldn't get the Saudi's to boost oil production.

Iraq has not produced any real quantity of oil
since 2002.

The Senate voted overwhelmingly to cease oil shipments of 97,000 barrels into the federal oil repository starting in August.

97,000 barrels? New York City goes through that much in a week.

For centuries, civilized nations have spared the young, mentally infirm and terminally ill from full vengence of the law. Since Bush has suspended laws governing our captured enemies his treatment of these poeple is not surprising.
This is neither a partisan nor an anti-war comment, just fact.

Yeah, we're terrible people. We should be decent and let these youngsters go so they can figure another way of killing us. Then we can all feel good about how righteous we are.
