Re: Couple observations about Guantanamo
by Alphast
Mark, I am sure that your Bible has words about compassion and charity, even if you didn't read them. Like not helping tyrants torturing innocents or that kind of things. These Uighur people are clearly not fighters, they are people fleeing repression in China, a country known for its brutality. It has been established by a US court of justice, remember? Not a liberal journal, not Lithwick: an American judge. Why would you want to send them to prison or death? Because you don't like Uighurs? After all, it is their only crime: being Uighur and refusing to live under the Chinese boot. If it is just your racism, I can understand: why would you care for people that you don't consider as really humans? But if you are not a racist, what do you have against these guys?
