What's even worse is that these constitutional rights they hold so dear
(Americans don't appear to believe in human rights; only constitutional)
are complete ineffective in Guantanamo Bay (Cuba): no American court
(other than a military one) has jurisdiction in that area, IIRC.

Maybe if they were big enough to offer the same constitutional freedoms
that they offer others (including the American Taliban) I might have
some respect for what they are doing, but instead they hold them in some
off-shore grey area to face what will probably be something of a
kangaroo court. Another case of the United Banana Republic of America...

Cheers,

Alex.
