Judge says Guantanamo inmates must go free

A US federal judge has ordered the release of five Algerian detainees from Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.

The US government had accused all six men of planning to travel to Afghanistan to join al-Qaeda.

US District Judge Richard Leon said the US government has failed to prove anything against the prisoners, even after holding them nearly seven years in detention without charge.

He ruled the US military could not continue to hold the men as enemy combatants even if they believed the men would travel to Afghanistan to fight against US forces.

But he allowed for the detention of another Algerian national, Belkacem Bensayah, who was seized with the other five in 2001.

The US Defence Department has said the government will appeal the ruling.

Judge says Guantanamo inmates must go free

Well and good too release the 3 prisoners as long as the judge will gaurantee they will not join the insurgency or the Alquida
group when they got there.It is easier to release but you will be responsible if it will not work at all.

You can accuse a person unless the action has been performed

You just cannot accuse a person uless the action has been carried out.

Let us do not forget, that a person is innocent until proven guilty.

This means that these people were planning, but the action was not carried out, so you cannot accuse before the action has been carried out.

It is the same as a person rents an apartment and must pay his monthly rent in advance, because one must consume before paying, in this case the person must live in the apartment a month and then legally is responsible to pay what he has consumed.

Another example is a person goes to a restaturant and pays before eating his meal, according to the law a person must eat his meal and then pay for it after eating it.

So I believe that this federal judge is 100% correct in releasing his decision, and these people must be recompensated for their illegal detainment, and at the same time those who abused these laws must be brought to face justice.

Conspiracy and intent to commit are sufficient reasons to bring charges.

I am reffering to a traditional restaurant where you have a waiter and table service

I guess I did not clarify the word restaurant from self service fast food outlets which have replaced the traditional restaurant with all its trimmings, and service charges that certainly now-adays can be patronized by those who are in the elete group of our present society.

Yes, you are absolutely correct in these buffet, and self service outlets, one must pay for its food before it is consumed, and I believe that some of our administrators are using these examples to interpret the laws in this line.

This also opens another way of thinking, and in the traditional way of doing things, wars were declared by Congress, and not by presidents who in most cases have become Sheriff, judge and jury, and abusing all parlementary procedures by adopting special emergency laws that suits, and justify their needs.

Sammy,now we can tell you plenty of money eating in a very elite restaurant. you must be a very expensive man when it comes to eating or dining w/a very rare wine bottle w/ your dinner.How about sharing that money with us. We need some bail out money like the banks and the automakers(the big three)flying in/out with the coorporate jets for security purposes. You might one of those kind of people.We can only afford a junior burger at MAcadees you know,Felix said from Romania.Now we know ,hot shot.How many maid do you have?And a bit you,you have a fleet of cars and limo w/ a driver to drive you around followed w/security body guards.Fine dining w/ fine young women around you all the time.

It is all of part of my Arab ancestry

You see, I am one of the black sheeps who has left the Arab flock, and my Arab friends want me to keep up my personal prestige and they have given me an expense account so that I will not ever forget to protect their interests and forget my heritage, what they give me is only peanuts to them,since their wealth is so immense, so I enjoy the good things that life offers all at the expense of my generous friends, just think I have dined in the finest restaurants with prominant world leaders.

Infact my Arab friends would increase my expense account if I would convert myself to their fanatic religion, but since I am a free thinker, I just cannot go against my personal principles, and I practice no religion at all, but the funny thing is, that even other religions have offered me a personal expense account if I join theirs, but I am very stubborn and I cannot be bought and go against my principles.

I suggest that you consult your family tree and who knows you might have Arab ancestery, and you can try to use my trick.

Sammy, that is how they have many Muslims in Europe.The prestige was given to the white Europe during the Truks conquest in Europe. Those European who will convert to Muslim faith will have greater privilages than the ordinary Christian.You should have done that and you will enjoy the wealth of the Arab producing country.You could be Hadjii Sammy and wearing the Arab
custom with all the women or harem in your house hold. hey,hey, heyyyyyyyyy,
