Comments on: Huckabee: ‘If Anything,’ We Treat Inmates At Guantanamo Bay ‘Too Nice’ http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/21/huckabee-gitmo-too-nice/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:57:12 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: nubs http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/21/huckabee-gitmo-too-nice/comment-page-4/#comment-4203453 nubs Sun, 23 Dec 2007 03:44:21 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/12/21/huckabee-gitmo-too-nice/#comment-4203453 those who oppose Guantanamo bay, should at least oppose it for the right reasons. The "facts" that people post on these boards are inaccurate and inconsistent with the way that GTMO is run. i know on a first hand basis that there is no torture here (since i have been involved here) and 80% of detainees are not kept in isolation. the only thing wrong with GTMO is the commissions process and trials. i believe that each detainee needs time in front of the judge (which is taking far too long) to see evidence and determine whether they are unlawful or not. if these men are guilty then they have made out better than any prisoner in the states. if they are innocent then i do feel remorse for them and their families that have suffered, but at least they are alive, safe, and healthy. that is my two cents those who oppose Guantanamo bay, should at least oppose it for the right reasons.

None of those being held at Gitmo will ever be tried yet they will remain in prison forever with people like Huckabee in charge, even being subjected to a little sport that most would call torture. How does this sporting event end? Do they bring n the lions? Watching this race to the bottom is just plain sickening. Huckabee is just as perverted as Mark Foley.

Yet our Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is working behind the scenes with House Democrats, not to build a consensus for impeachment, but to do just the opposite: to keep others from succeeding in their effort to hold this president accountable by means of impeachment. With the FISA bill still looming in the Senate, and a new war funding bill passed with no structure in place to Bring our Troops Home, we have to show the leaders of the House and Senate that this is still our country. Please read the petition to replace Pelosi with a Democratic Representative who will bring impeachment proceedings to the floor. A Question of Privilege under House Rules IX can declare the Speaker seat vacant. It can be done, it must be done. We have waited long enough. http://www.petitiononline.com/everyman/petition.html Never before has a President and Vice President deserved to be impeached more than these.
