		<description>It wasn&#039;t a crime, idiot.  It was a military attack.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Don&#039;t give me your tripe about &quot;predetermined justice.&quot;  Did you NOT HEAR what Obama and his AG said on television?  Idiot.  Why do you think Obama said those things?  Do you think, being a lawyer, that he doesn&#039;t understand how jury selection works?  How a trial process works?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You don&#039;t know Obama isn&#039;t a Muslim.  He is a Muslim.  He said he is.  But first and foremost, before he&#039;s a Muslim, he&#039;s a Marxist.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, we&#039;ll just see how this whole thing plays out.</description>

		<description>Well I guess we disagree on justice then. I always believed trials should be open and should happen where the crime took place. Oh well, takes all kinds.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah anybody can have a trial, but I am interested in a real trial myself and I just don&#039;t see military tribunals filling that role. You know the secret thing at a secret location and no public review issue. Do you seriously believe the verdict with a military tribunal will be any possibility but guilty. Gee how Islamic would that be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course we can have a trial with pre determined results, just like any junta can but I want a bit more out of the US. Just my nit picky belief in rule of law and stuff like that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I do think it is a special thing about Western Countries that we can give true human scum fair and legitimate trials, do you disagree?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I really doubt their lawyers are salivating over this however I do expect them to do their job. That is called professionalism. Also see the part about me not wanting a sham trial.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The fact the Obama administration just did the largest terror raid in US history does that maybe just maybe make you think he isn&#039;t a terrorist? Of course he isn&#039;t Muslim but hey, whats the facts got to do with anything around here.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your post was just silly nitpicking of course. The point of my post is that the author of this article thinks the war on terror is an either or option and that is simply absurd.</description>

		<description>Your post commits the fallacy of insinuating that a US military tribunal isn&#039;t US justice.  It is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your post commits the fallacy of insinuating that giving these guys a civilian trial is some great miracle of justice that only can happen in the US.  Nonsense.  Anybody can have a trial.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;US justice is a joke.  But putting that aside for a moment... doing this in civilian court is Obama&#039;s way of helping his Islamic brother make a big statement about US imperialism in court and also giving him a shot at getting off the hook.  The guy&#039;s lawyer is salivating at all the options he has for delaying and getting a mistrial.</description>

		<description>This article commits the fallacy of the excluded middle. The author of this article views combating the war on terror in the following way&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;a.) exclusively legal&lt;br&gt;b.) exclusively military&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However that is not how it is being fought and it has not been fault that way since 9/11&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are fighting this war with both legal and military options. As for a trial I am strongly in favor of it. A trial does the following things&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;a.) it shows the strength of  US Justice that we can give a trial to men who committed such vile crimes. This has the affect of remind the world just what they did and shows the strength of US justice&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;b.) The terrorists will act in one of two ways. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.) They will act like defiant Jihadis. This will remind Americans what we are fighting&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2.) They will act submissive. This will show the Muslims what slime they truly are&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a win/win situation for the US.</description>

		<description>WHY are Ohio Authorities Acting as if America is a MUSLIM NATION where non-Muslims have no rights?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Terrified 17-year-old Rifqa Bary who fled from being honor killed by her family must NEVER be returned to her parents in Ohio! Never sent back to Sri Lanka! Rifqa left Islam and the punishment for leaving Islam is death!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ohio authorities to whom Rifqa has been returned from Florida where she fled for safety, are punishing frightened Rifqa - not allowing her to use the internet or use the phone! Secretly holding hearings and deliberately isolating this young girl from her friends and the many people who are deeply concerned about her safety and want to help her.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A hearing has been set for Dec. 22nd for the charges filed against Rifqa by her parents for being &quot;unruly&quot; and ungovernable&quot;. It is NOT allowed to leave Islam!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ohio state has filed no charges against Rifqa&#039;s father for his beatings of Rifqa.  Has the law been eliminated against parents beating their children, or has the law been re-written that the law applies to everyone except Muslims?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why are Ohio authorities acting as if America is a Muslim country???&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;British police and the organizations in Britain who help victims such as Rifqa, would be shocked and horrified at American authorities&#039; cruel treatment of Rifqa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WWW.GUARDIAN.CO.UK&lt;br&gt;Ending the silence on &#039;honour killing&#039;&lt;br&gt;I wish I could get involved with the support groups and help but you know, I&#039;m just a coward.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Having first walked out of an abusive marriage at the age of 17 and then from a hostile family who had had a meeting to discuss whether or not she should die, Zena does not lack courage but she is still very scared.&lt;br&gt;She has every reason to be. Her Bangladeshi-born mother had suggested that Zena might be allowed to poison herself rather than be murdered for bringing shame on the family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I&#039;m sorry to be so cloak-and-dagger but you never know what they might be capable of, I know there are plenty of young men who would love to play bounty hunter just for a bit of kudos in the community.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Police estimate at least 12 are dying each year in the UK but others will be hidden – forced suicides and murders made to look like suicide are widely believed to take place undetected. Women aged 16-24 from Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi backgrounds are three times more likely to kill themselves than the national average for that age and it is impossible to tell what pressures some must have been under.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When it opened its helpline in April 2008, Karma Nirvana received 4,000 calls in the first year and is now taking 300 calls a month from people under threat of honour-based violence, often linked to forced marriage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After the government&#039;s forced marriage unit was set up in April last year, it received 5,000 calls and rescued 400 victims in the first six months.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They also face being hunted down, said Detective Chief Inspector Gerry Campbell of the Metropolitan police. &quot;It&#039;s not uncommon to have bounty hunters out hunting down young people who have left forced marriages or fled from a family where they are at risk. It&#039;s rare for [one person] to take unilateral action, it&#039;s all done in consultation and there is logistical support and collusion in the extended community,&quot; he said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;...Banaz Mahmod, who made contact with police five times to say she thought her life was in danger but always drew back from pressing charges. Banaz, 19, a Kurd, was murdered by family members at her home in Mitcham, Surrey, in 2006.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She had been raped and beaten by the older man she had been forced to marry, and had left him. Her elder sister, Bekhal, had also left home to escape their father&#039;s violence and the extended family was beginning to regard Mahmod Mahmod as a man who had lost control of his daughters. The shame became so unbearable that he held a meeting to discuss killing his daughter and her new boyfriend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I&#039;m confident that no victim will ever be turned away in London and that officers know that to do nothing is not an option.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Honour is about a collection of practices used by the family to control behaviour, to prevent perceived shame, but there&#039;s no honour in murder, rape, or kidnapping and with 25% of the [cases] we are seeing involving a person under 18: this is a child abuse issue too. The simple message is: If you do this you will be caught and brought to justice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The behaviour of women seen to have dishonoured their families can be as harmless as wearing make-up or talking to boys. One suspected murder is believed to have been caused by a girl having a love song dedicated to her on a community radio show.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Diana Nammi, who runs the Iranian and Kurdish Women&#039;s Rights Organisation in London: For someone to be killed for their make-up or clothes or having a boyfriend or for refusing to accept a forced marriage is so brutal and unacceptable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Pakistan the practice of honour killing – called karo-kari – sees more than 10,000 women die each year.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For Zena, she has her life but does not have her freedom. &quot;When I first ran away I would go to the library and read loads of spy books to pick up tips. You have to teach yourself how to best keep hidden,&quot; she said. &quot;My life is about keeping a very low profile now and about looking over my shoulder, but at least I know I am alive and I grieve for those poor girls who are not.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/oct/25/honour-killings-victims-domestic-violence&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/oct/25/h...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

<p><a href="http://WWW.GUARDIAN.CO.UK" rel="nofollow">http://WWW.GUARDIAN.CO.UK</a><br />Ending the silence on &#39;honour killing&#39;<br />I wish I could get involved with the support groups and help but you know, I&#39;m just a coward.&#8221;</p>
<p>Having first walked out of an abusive marriage at the age of 17 and then from a hostile family who had had a meeting to discuss whether or not she should die, Zena does not lack courage but she is still very scared.<br />She has every reason to be. Her Bangladeshi-born mother had suggested that Zena might be allowed to poison herself rather than be murdered for bringing shame on the family.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#39;m sorry to be so cloak-and-dagger but you never know what they might be capable of, I know there are plenty of young men who would love to play bounty hunter just for a bit of kudos in the community.&#8221;</p>
<p>Police estimate at least 12 are dying each year in the UK but others will be hidden – forced suicides and murders made to look like suicide are widely believed to take place undetected. Women aged 16-24 from Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi backgrounds are three times more likely to kill themselves than the national average for that age and it is impossible to tell what pressures some must have been under.</p>
<p>When it opened its helpline in April 2008, Karma Nirvana received 4,000 calls in the first year and is now taking 300 calls a month from people under threat of honour-based violence, often linked to forced marriage.</p>
<p>After the government&#39;s forced marriage unit was set up in April last year, it received 5,000 calls and rescued 400 victims in the first six months.</p>
<p>They also face being hunted down, said Detective Chief Inspector Gerry Campbell of the Metropolitan police. &#8220;It&#39;s not uncommon to have bounty hunters out hunting down young people who have left forced marriages or fled from a family where they are at risk. It&#39;s rare for [one person] to take unilateral action, it&#39;s all done in consultation and there is logistical support and collusion in the extended community,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8230;Banaz Mahmod, who made contact with police five times to say she thought her life was in danger but always drew back from pressing charges. Banaz, 19, a Kurd, was murdered by family members at her home in Mitcham, Surrey, in 2006.</p>
<p>She had been raped and beaten by the older man she had been forced to marry, and had left him. Her elder sister, Bekhal, had also left home to escape their father&#39;s violence and the extended family was beginning to regard Mahmod Mahmod as a man who had lost control of his daughters. The shame became so unbearable that he held a meeting to discuss killing his daughter and her new boyfriend.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#39;m confident that no victim will ever be turned away in London and that officers know that to do nothing is not an option.</p>
<p>&#8220;Honour is about a collection of practices used by the family to control behaviour, to prevent perceived shame, but there&#39;s no honour in murder, rape, or kidnapping and with 25% of the [cases] we are seeing involving a person under 18: this is a child abuse issue too. The simple message is: If you do this you will be caught and brought to justice.</p>
<p>The behaviour of women seen to have dishonoured their families can be as harmless as wearing make-up or talking to boys. One suspected murder is believed to have been caused by a girl having a love song dedicated to her on a community radio show.</p>
<p>Diana Nammi, who runs the Iranian and Kurdish Women&#39;s Rights Organisation in London: For someone to be killed for their make-up or clothes or having a boyfriend or for refusing to accept a forced marriage is so brutal and unacceptable.</p>
<p>In Pakistan the practice of honour killing – called karo-kari – sees more than 10,000 women die each year.</p>
<p>For Zena, she has her life but does not have her freedom. &#8220;When I first ran away I would go to the library and read loads of spy books to pick up tips. You have to teach yourself how to best keep hidden,&#8221; she said. &#8220;My life is about keeping a very low profile now and about looking over my shoulder, but at least I know I am alive and I grieve for those poor girls who are not.&#8221;<br /><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/oct/25/honour-killings-victims-domestic-violence" rel="nofollow">http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/oct/25/h&#8230;</a></p>
