The belief people are innocent until proven guilty is pretty much bedrock in the western civilisation you claim to want to protect. Do you advocate treating people as guilty until proven innocent?

I see you have given up any meaningful response to my posts / questions (did you ever get round to telling me what you thought the purpose of the Geneva Convention on treatment of POW was?) and are just resorting to side swipes now. Nice.

Oddly, they are only released because there is not enough evidence they are a terrorist. BAH seems to think this is a mistake, and lack of evidence should not be a bar to punishing people. Even more strangely, she fails to see the irony in doing this to protect western civilisation. |
