a camp where non-combatants of a district are accommodated, such as those instituted by Lord Kitchener during the South African war of 1899-1902; one for the internment of political prisoners, foreign nationals, etc., esp. as organized by the Nazi regime in Germany before and during the war of 1939-45.

Today an innocent man arrested without due cause was released. Sami al-Hajj had been held prisoner by US forces for 6 years without ever being charged with any crime. Before he was illegally detained by imperialist invaders he was working as a photographer for Al Jazeera.

During the first year he was held in the US concentration camp without being charged with any crime. He had no rights according to Our Glorious Christian Leader.

During the second year he was held in the US concentration camp without being charged with any crime. He had no rights according to Darth Cheney.

During the third year he was held in the US concentration camp without being charged with any crime. He had no rights according to Donald "Death Star" Rumsfeld.

During the fourth year he was held in the US concentration camp without being charged with any crime. He had no rights according to Co-Conspirator Rice.

During the fifth year he was held in the US concentration camp without being charged with any crime. He had no rights according to Alberto "Torture Time" Gonzales.

During the sixth year he was released from the US concentration camp without being charged with any crime. Nobody has apologized for holding him prisoner for 6 years with no charges.

We do not know how often he was tortured, but we do know who authorized the torture.

Since he was never charged with any crime at all, not even littering, what shall we presume about his guilt or innocence? Is there any presumption to be made about a person's guilt or innocence? How about if a person has not only never been convicted of a crime, suppose they have never even been charged with a crime - are they still guilty?

The memo was written by John Yoo, who was then deputy assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel under Alberto "Torture Time" Gonzales, a primary enabler of faith-based torture initiatives.

While the so-called legal opinion does not actually say that Our Glorious Christian Leader answers directly to God, it has been widely reported that God told Our Glorious Christian Leader to engage in an illegal conspiracy to promote a war of aggression based on a pack of lies.

Of course since Jesus H. Christ told Our Glorious Christian Leader that he should invade Iraq this means he was delegating authority, and with authority directly from his Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy, it seems obvious that Our Glorious Christian Leader should not be subject to the laws of mere mortals. Praise Him!

Right wing pundits aside, the fact is that liberal scum do not want our soldiers to die. Unlike some who speak out fervently in favor of this shameful war, the New York intellectual liberal elite realize that the best way to show our support for our soldiers is to stop wasting their lives in a war we have already lost.

If the real goal of our invasion was to find the alleged WMD, it has been a complete failure. If the real goal of our illegal campaign was to bring Democracy to Iraq, then we have failed as it is rejected by the people of Iraq on a daily basis. If the real goal of our invasion of a country that had absolutely nothing at all to do with terr'ism and 9/11 was to decrease terr'ism, then our failure is so immense as to be incalculable.

We have never found the WMD because the liars telling us they were there knew perfectly well that they did not exist. We have never found the sooper-seekrit nukular research facilities described in such detail by Darth Cheney, because he is a lying toerag who knew quite well his entire nukular weapons scam was a pack of lies and nothing else. Perhaps Darth wanted to throw a few hundred billion dollars to his pals at Halliburton, where he was the CEO before moving to the supply side of the US murder by war industry.

We have found thousands and thousands of terr'ists, and quite often they have found us, but they were not terr'ists or they were not in Iraq until after our illegal, immoral, unjust and ill-advised war of aggression based on a scandalous and well calculated pack of lies.

So now we have a situation in which our brave young men and women must constantly defend themselves from terr'ists who would not even be terr'ists in the first place if we had not invaded their country and caused over a million deaths all for reasons that we continue to lie about to this sad and mournful Veterans day.

Let us show our brave fighting forces that we do really care about them, let's bring them home while they are still alive.

No doubt Our Glorious Christian Leader was inspired by a famous quote from his Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy, or Imaginary Son of Imaginary Sky Daddy to be more precise, "Suffer the little cluster bombs to come unto me, for theirs is the Kingdom of Republican war profits". I think that is how it goes. Compassionate conservative my ass.

Besides, these damn poor kids are too young to be sent overseas time and time again, and then treated like dirt when they come home wounded. By the time they are old enough to be used as cannon fodder, Our Glorious Christian Leader will be back home in Crawford counting his war profit dollars.

Our Glorious Christian Leader is willing to spend ten billion dollars a month to protect exclusive oil rights for the billionaire that is building his Presidential Library, but medical care for our own children is just too big of a burden, since it does not help his war profiteering Fundamentalist Christian cronies. How could anything be more disgusting than Our Glorious Christian Leader?

Jesus' favorite warmonger also was filled with glee at the over 3% reduction in violence that was achieved by a statistician using various samples and time frames until eventually he came up with a Powerpoint slide that seemed to indicate a slight reduction in terr'ism when viewed in the narrow context that pleased Our Glorious Christian Leader.

It should be noted that only 4 years have passed since Our Glorious Christian Leader gleefully announced Mission Accomplished, in his butch jet fighter outfit, as a result of our successful destruction of the infrastructure in Iraq.

Of course, the real reason we invaded Iraq is whatever dumbass soundbite is currently getting the best reaction at American Legion posts across the country. Recently our reason to invade Iraq was to stop the sectarian violence that coincidentally did not start until we completely fucked over the entire nation that had brazenly done nothing at all to harm the USA with the completely fabricated WMDs they never had in the first place and we damn well fucking knew it because they were invented as an excuse by Our Glorious Christian Leader and his war crimes co-conspirators to funnel billions of dollars to the "Defense" Industry. Who gives a shit about the hundreds of thousands of bodies?

In both cases the nations we were forced to attack were in the final stages of preparations for invading and enslaving the entire US mainland. The Iraqi's were just about to launch their 3 man Navy in a speedboat left over from the Iran/Iraq war, and, after stopping to refuel 18 times while crossing the Atlantic Ocean, they would have arrived at New York City 2 months later and finished off the destruction of Manhattan that had been started in 2001 by Osama Bin Hussein.

Vietnam, many years earlier, had been in the process of outfitting a fleet of 12 wooden fishing boats with which they intended to sail into San Francisco Bay and immediately create a network of Pho restaurants from which they could dispense poison-laden rice noodle soup to the hippies in the Bay Area, thereby destroying US morale and forcing an immediate and unconditional surrender.

If we had not attacked Osama Bin Hussein in Baghdad we would have had to do ship to ship combat in the New York harbor area, putting the Statue of Liberty at risk for a friendly fire accidental incident. This could reduce tourism dollars.

Of course there are a few slight differences. In Vietnam we appointed a puppet government and then used the puppet government to request US "assistance", in the form of us going there and killing hundreds of thousands of the people that lived there for trying to select their own form of government without US approval.

In the case of Iraq, we went there first, killed a bunch of people, and then installed a government that immediately announced a powerful urge to have some random group of foreigners come in and start killing the local people. It is clear that the Vietraq war is a much greater success than Vietnam was, since in Iraq we were already there killing people before the puppet government asked us to kill people - making our Mission Accomplished an instantaneous result. As soon as our troops rolled in to Baghdad we had already won the Iraq war.

In Vietnam we did not win until the last helicopter left the US fortress, er, embassy in a hail of gunfire from confused locals who delusionally thought they wanted a local government not run by the benevolent, mass-murdering USA.

We continue to be amazed at the brilliant tactical analysis produced on a daily basis by Our Glorious Christian Leader and his highly competent staff of reality deniers and oil exploration equipment salesmen. Our Glorious Christian Leader, like Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon before him, has the wisdom to realize that it is primarily the people in non-Caucasian nations that are most interested in having American troops invade their countries and kill their citizens.

It seems the weapon that was being considered was expected to have the effect of pacifying enemy forces as well as increasing US exports of Village People and Bette Midler music CDs. After all, we all know that gay men love disco, show tunes and Bette.

Certainly there is no historical precedent for a gay military force, no famous legendary military campaigns were ever led by gay men, and no famous legions of gay soldiers ever made it into the history books - in Kansas.

But let us imagine that the failure on the part of the Pentagon to develop this absolutely fabulous fashion bomb might give our enemies the upper hand by letting them get ahead using a butch team of manly weapons researchers with buff tone and great abs. We might end up with gay bomb size envy.

What if the terr'ists set off a gay bomb in Vatican City? Why it would have no effect at all except for destroying acres of closet space. What about Topeka, Kansas?

By failing to develop this fiendishly clever weapon are we giving Al Qaeda a homosexual agenda cold war advantage? If the terr'ists set off a gay bomb in Washington would Jeff Gannon take over as Chief White House Spokesman?

And what about the sanctity of marriage? I suppose the President and Vice President would have to divorce their wives before they could get married to each other in a gala gay marriage event in the White House Rose Garden.

I think we are leaving ourselves vulnerable to attack! Won't somebody think of the children?

America, you are now totally and completely fucked. Even now there are marketing studies and brand name research being done to support the selling of our next war of naked imperialist aggression. Marketing executives who wear three piece suits and drive BMWs are trying to decide which types of propaganda and lies will work best.

As long as our media continue to sugar coat the casualties of war, and as long as they conspire with oil baron administrations to sell new wars to a naive public that would rather watch American Idol than consider the impact of dropping bombs on cities far way, this country will continue its downward spiral into fascism.

It is good to pay homage to those who are brave enough and unselfish enough to put their lives on the line for what they believe, they are indeed heroes and worthy of our respect and gratitude. But the death of a soldier is incidental to their function, it is an undesired and undesirable side effect. The function of military personnel is to kill foreigners on behalf of the God/State. We need to keep that in mind.

It is this killing that contributes to most of the deaths in a war. It is not pretty, and anyone that tries to sell you a new war should be sent to Guantanamo for a very long vacation. People that try to sugar coat war for a living are doing a great disservice to their nation and their planet. Advocating war or glorifying the acts of war should be treated in the same way as other forms of criminal and sociopathic behavior. Accurate reporting of the effects of war are a pre-requisite for achieving peace, but the US Military is in the business of war, nothing threatens that industry more than peace or rumors of peace.

It is no wonder that the US Military Industry is anxious to continue treating our imperialist wars as if they were some sort of a Disney film. It's good for business.
