"Quit with the "it's about time we respect" bullshit. Because one questions the means and actions of this administration does not mean we lose all respect for our military.
Any how many have been released without charge? Obviously their intelligence is flawed."
You said the following:
"So why not just lock up the whole damn place until we figure these things out cause honestly they really don't have to have a reason to be locked up, that's what all of you are saying. They don't need one f##king reason."
I responded by saying the military and intelligence community have carefully gone after those individuals they have found to be threats to security. They have had excellant reasons for capturing and killing lots of individuals.
Whats B####### is your assertion that they don't need a reason. People have worked hard and lost their lives to bring many of these people in. They could have brought in 10 times or 100 times as many people, but they brought these people in because based on their work, they found these people to be threats.
All intelligence is to some degree flawed. There is no such thing as perfect. Intelligence is not like looking into a crystal ball or anything you may have seen in science fiction. Its a difficult process in which mistakes happen on a daily basis.
"Like I said lock up the whole Middle East that should be a large enough net for the time being, until the next wave of terrorists hit."
How many people live in the Middle East? How many people have been detained?
"They were soldiers wearing uniforms and bearing arms held at us, it wasn't flawed intelligence that led us to them. This comparison doesn't work."
Ever wonder why terrorist don't wear uniforms and overtly carry arms?
Are the consequences any different for failing to detain or capture "soldiers" vs. "terrorist" with much the same goals?
"How is ensuring justice and asking for evidence for detainment letting terrorist get away? I don't get it. Has anyone here asked for the guilty to be set free? Where do you get this?"
Let me ask you this:
Has a person guilty of murder ever gotten out through the legal system and then committed the crime again?
Is the legal system perfect? Does it ever make mistakes?
The fact is that people who have committed murder, multiple murders have been found innocent and set free.
That is a risk we cannot not afford to take with terrorist committed to killing everyone in this country if they could. Thousands died on 9/11, but the potential is there for an attack that could kill a hundred or thousand times that number.
This is a war and we must detain those we fill are a risk to our security and survival as a nation just as we would soldiers of another military. Doing so increases the chances of stopping the next terrorist attack that could kill thousands of people.
