The justice department ruled that some 600 so-called enemy combatants at Bagram have no constitutional rights.Most have been arrested in Afghanistan on suspicion of waging a terrorist war against the US.The move has disappointed human rights lawyers who had hoped the Obama administration would take a different line to that of George W Bush.
Now that The Obama Justice Department has decided to retain and enforce THE EXACT SAME POLICY AS THE BUSH JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, it would seem reasonable that those calling for War Crimes Charges against GWB for doing this, should be just as incensed at Obama, right??
Let me put this in terms even liberals can comprehend: Barack Obama is holding detainees without benefit of counsel just like George Bush.
That makes Obama a war criminal too, just like Bush, right???
The US military considers Bagram detainees unlawful combatants who can be detained for as long as they are deemed a threat to Afghan national security.
