It could well be true, but if form is followed, the proof won't come out for fifty or more years, long after the last perpetrator is dead and can't be prosecuted. :(

Well Vi---I hope like hell and pray to "god" that the assertion of this organization turns out to be incorrect.
If it is right---then this is just more bad mojo heaped on top of some bad, bad karma "we" are sowing by this whole Iraq war thing...
In the bible--God has wiped away nations from the face of the earth for doing less than this!

Since both of thes ships are aircraft carriers I doubt that their floating prisons. They wouldn't be efficient or have facilities to be prisons. Not to mention the fact that their full of planes, helicoptors , missiles and missile launchers. If they were gonna do something like that they would use a battleship because it would hold more people and could be outfitted with cells to hold them. This story doesn't make sense.

Unfortunately, it is very likely to be true.
We live in the greatest country in the world, but like all nations, we have our dirty little secrets. Most of them are white-washed for public consumption like the massacre at Wounded Knee, the real story of the Pilgrims and the real story of the atrocities committed by the Spaniards under Columbus' command, the treatment of the Japanese during WWII, etc. And don't get started on the "patriot act", the variety of things that have been surfacing about 9-11 that the public has forgotten about thanks to the "war on terror", which has yet to capture enough terrorists to make it cost-effective (there are better methods available than unnecessarily invading sovereign nations).
We have a whole series of Homeland Security prison camps spread throughout this country. They claim that they are for housing illegals from INS raids, but they have yet to put any illegals there for processing and the border patrol is already prevented from effectively stopping the influx of illegals. Another Bush legacy, btw.
Because of things like that, this country is fast becoming something that would have our founding fathers rolling over in their graves.
When all of those things are cleaned up and set right, then we can go back to being the great country that used to garner respect throughout most of the world.

Well - my personal take on it is that I really don't give a rats ass. :disgust:
We, and I say WE with respect of naming all western civilizations of the so called "free world", have been at war, whether some chose to admit it or not with a radical fanatical form of religion, since moses with those who would "kill the infidels" or any one that does not conform to their beliefs (and even some who do).
So why should we give constitutional rights to non-citizens of the United States. WE SHOULD'NT!:mad: Those that are detained are done so as suspected or factual enemy combatants and are treated as such until proven otherwise. Innocent until proven guilty is a facet of a US citizen's constitutional rights, not that of an enemy.
So what that they are held at high seas, while being interrogated. If the info that is extracted is valuable in thwarting a terrorist attact that could save virtually hundreds or thousands of lives, it was well worth it.

Do people survive on oranges like in the movie?
This just reads like lots of paranoid ramblings that don't make any sense at all.
Are you bipolar or something?
When my bipolar friends go off their meds they think stuff like this.
Do you people actually believe all of this idiotic crap?
I don't like the US gov't at times but some of these conspiracy theories by the left are just absurd and don't make ANY sense at all and yet people willingly accept them as truth and swallow the kool aid because they're posted on a public conspiracy theory forum and because there's a VERY small footnote of a
theory of this in the Guardian that it HAS to be true!

The British and French resistance fighters were called Terrorists by the Germans during WWII.
Had the word existed then, American Patriots would have been called terrorists by the British before America won it's independance.
Terrorism is a matter of perspective. When it looks like you're losing, you're called a Terrorist. When it looks like you're winning, you're called a President.

These people hijack planes and blow them up, are suicide bombers, bombed a train in London, tried to do it in Spain and other countries, blew up the USS Cole, and kill innocent civilians and people who happen to be there in Israel when they blow themselves up for their religion.
Comparing them to the founding fathers and American revolutionary war soldiers is in bad taste and is a pointless analogy to make.

Love ya Doggy, but I think theres a point to be missed...
And many forget--
When people commit atrocities against others in time of war, they are called WAR CRIMES. Regardless of what country is doing what, its still WAR CRIMES. No one said anything about giving criminals rights of United States citizens ( just like no one in any other country wanted to give our POWs the rights of their countries--regardless of countless wars...)
There are, as well all know, RULES of war. Given that alone, considering Geneva Conventions and so forth, when a country or countries ( regardless of WHO THEY ARE) breaks said such rules, that is called a WAR CRIME.
Now, the stereotypical United States mentality is, "Damn the consequences, your rules dont matter only ours do"... but let something like that happen ( like it HAS for YEARS--ie Vietnam, Korea, even Germany, et al) where a country or countries go against human rights laws, and rules of war, and then this country gets their collective panties in a bunch screaming "GENEVA CONVENTIONS!!!" and " WAR CRIMES COMMISSION!!!"
Its funny in a film noir kind of way how the mentality of our nation is so bent on how everyone else needs to follow the rules and 'we' dont...theres always some BS excuse as to why "those rules dont apply to US--just THEM"...
even now theres someone out there getting ready to type a witty retort about how everyone else needs to follow the rules but we dont ( hell theres so many posts in the archives--pick one!):tongue::2cents::rolleyes:
To paraphrase a funny moment:
"RULES?!?!! We dont need no stinking RULES!!!!"
And the band played on..

What type of rules do you think these people play war by.The answer is none.If this really exsist its keeping them away from harming others and who says we are harming them in any way,except to keep them from killing innocent men women and children.I also dont belive we have declared war on anyone so many of these rules you are talking about dont apply.

Acutally one of the ships is an LDH and the other is an LHA. Both are large deck amphibious assualt ships, and both have short term brigs onboard. Short term meaning they cannot hold prisioners over a certain number is days, no matter what their status. Even though these ships have brigs. the story makes no sense. The ships have other mission more important than floating around being a "floating prision." That would cost the Navy a shit load of money they do not currently have. I agree it would make a great Tom Clancy movie.

Since when has W and his cronies cared how much money is being spent when it comes to chasing after suspected terrorists. The sky is the limit!!
We are in the age of the new Communist Witch Hunts of the 1950's. Back then the government took away the rights of a selected group of people because they were suspected of being Communists. Of course, most of them weren't but we ALLOWED it to happen.
Now we are ALLOWING our government to do WHATEVER it wants in the search for terrorists. The government can look in YOUR library records, your credit card receipts, YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS and order the people NOT to tell you that they searched your records. Does that make you feel safer?!?
Do you really believe that every wiretap the government gets to look for terrorists is authorized?
THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS DEAD!!!
If the government will do that to YOU what makes you think for one second that we aren't breaking the rules in other places? It doesn't make sense to believe that we wouldn't.
This administration does not believe in any rules other than what it takes to get you to believe their next lie. We have been fed crap since 9/11 and W will spend any amount of money, doing whatever it takes, break any rules, piss off the rest of the world, lie to our face, all in the name of the War on Terror.
Am I Safer? Hell NO!! Is this story true? I don't know but it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me given everything else W has pulled. Remember, we have had scandals from this administration like no other before. Imagine what will come out when Bush is gone!!!

True - in war (conventional war that is) there are rules of engagement, rules of conducts and even rules for POW (detainee) processing. That is just naming a few. However, I must refresh the facts;
1) This is not a conventional war
2) This is not a declared war (in the traditional sense)
3) There are no rules -
A) of engagement
B) of conduct
C) of prisoner (detainee) processing
This war, as I stated previously, is one that is being waged against western civilization since time immemorial. The "Jihad" was begun in years untold BC.
The fanatical jihads have grown in number to a pint that they threaten world stability. Face it folks, they want to rule the world with their religious beliefs. We are ingaged in an unconventional conflict or war that is religion based.
This is one time that religion and state cannot be separated. But it is more complex than simply that.
The jihads thoroughly believe that Ala or their God has instructed them to kill any infidel who does not blow to the commands of their religious doctrine (if you can call it that).
Whether you like or dislike the events of today’s world situations, there is NO reasoning with the radicals. They will not stop. Pause, maybe, for reflection and to regroup and revise their strategies of conquest, but never stop.
They have not stopped in over two thousand years, so why would anyone expect them to stop now? Just because Hillary or Barrack would hold conferences with them - Get Real!!
This, I believe, is the surfacing of what is to become, the beginning of the end.
Not this election process, but the following (I predict) in 2012, will reveal astounding revelations that will be seen and felt worldwide.

What you have just described is exactly how so-called "Christian" countries have been treating so-called "heathens" for CENTURIES.
"Our God is better than your God"
"Nuh Uh...OUR God is better than your God!!!"
From the alleged "Holy" Crusades to now. I mean damn, did everyone forget history before the UnTIEd States ever existed? The wholesale slaughter of Muslims ( in the Crusades), Native Mexican peoples, Nations of 'Native Americans'--believe in our ways or die has been the battle cry of the Anglo-Saxon, the Catholic, the Dutch slave herder, the Spanish conquistador, the Roman Empire. Come on now, Tom Clancy has nothing on the inane hatred of the red, brown, and yellow for aeons...
And another thing... there is a GREAT difference between the Iranians, the Iraqis, and the Arabs....
there was this one place called Persia which was ( and still is in my opinion) a sovereign nation. Thats what we now call Iran. Their religious belief system USED to be one of peace and prosperity... based on the philosophies of Zoroaster. ( check it out)
Iraq has all the "Ali Baba and the Seven Theives" and "Aladdin" --seems everyone forgot how much all of htat has been romanticized in cartoons of Disney, but they were once part of old Babylon.
Funny thing about the Arabs is that they are cousins of the Israelites ( let no one tell you otherwise)---Abraham's first son was from Hagar ( not the horrible from the Sunday funnies) and his name was Ishmael. He ALSO has 12 sons, who were referred to as Cheiftains. Israelites of course come from Abraham's grandson ( through Isaac and Rebekah) Jacob..who then produced 12 sons ( ergo the "Twelve Tribes of Israel")...
Lets not also forget that Jacob's twin brother Esau had a whole slew of kin folk called the Edomites and theres a few more relatives over there...
Let the family feud stay right where it has been since the "Burning Bush" (LOL for so many reasons)--they have been scrapping over who has the right to be "God's chosen" people ("naw, cousin, its US!!!" "nuh uh cousin, its US!!!")... their religions could give two shits less about "kill the infidel" "destroy the west"... not all of them are like that...those are called Extremists--they dont speak for the population--those dummies speak for themselves, and any damn fool tardiot that will agree with their senseless garbage.
Saying that "they all dont like the western civilization so they all want to destroy us" is like saying all religions over here agree with Pat Robertson and that other idiot that died a couple years ago that talk a bunch of bullshit. That would be like saying all Americans think that gay people shouldnt get married. There's more to life than what is seen on television. The people who dont want us to have rights and spew forth mindless dribble are called Extremists... or Far Right, or Ultra Conservative--they dont speak for the population--those dummies speak for themselves, and any damn fool tardiot that will agree with their senseless garbage.
And saying that religion and state shouldnt be separated is just paving the way to more of the same crap that we say we dont like others doing. I mean hell, as far as the Vatican goes, for example, the church IS the state!! Do we really want our government telling us how to worship as well? If we dont belong to the states religion we pay the consequences?
Isnt that going WAY backwards.... I thought this alleged "Land of the Free" fought against the "Reds" for that exact reason. V for Vendetta anyone? I thought this country didnt want a national religion?
Geesh.. the more you fight against something or someone the more you become it.
(From Star Trek)
The enemy of my enemy is my friend? No wait... the friend of my friend is my enemy...
WTF people! and by the way, Allah means God in Arabic, just like Dieu means God in French, Dios in Spanish, Gott in German, Deus in Portugese. Leave the speakers of the "scary language" alone already, and be mad at the jackoffs that are fucking it up for everybody namely asshole extremist bastards. (For example) I mean shit, just because the KKK and the neo Nazis are rather fkt up doesnt mean I dont like the Caucasian race for goodness sake. And just because there are gangs in LA, Compton, Cleveland, NewYork, etal of all kinds of racial backgrounds doesnt give one the right to wholesale slaughter of blacks, Mexicans, or anyone else.
People are so scared of language and skin color its disgusting, so they have a "kill them all" mentality. That's why its best to understand a culture, a group of people, why they act that way, before blowing them off the face of the planet. Lawrence of Arabia anyone? Its about respect. And that seems to be lacking from everyone. This country wants to be respected, but wont respect anyone else on their land or their territory. This country feels that they can go to any country, "set up shop" and start bossing people around.
Let ANY country come over here and set up forts and shit and just watch what the people here would do... the same exact thing every other country that is bitter towards us does--gets pissed off and starts bitching and killing. We arent that different us and them.

Aye verily. :)
One cannot 'debate' the facts ;):cool:
Doggie..me did notice jus who ya wer talkin bout..only thing wich stopped me from ansrin at length las nite wos that... wot got me a lil animated wos the 1 sidedness of it... that it wos as if peeps didn hav a reason 2 react as they do gainst the west... cos they do... an please...seperate reason from justification..tho that is arguable, tho ya knos wot me thinksa war an killin peeps... course they usin religion as a tool 2 get peeps worked up an 2 act... peeps been doin that for millenia an not jus muslims..an not jus extreme groups lil Al Quaeda...
The fact is that the west has 2 such a gr8 extent brot things on itsel.. the h8red an resentment.. the loathin of the way it has run ruffshod ova the planet an used an abused every otha race an nation on earth for its own ends... the US is but the inheritor of centuries of European imperialism an the march a western "civilisation" an values wich began wiv the Greeks. Like the ole British Empire, an those of the French, Dutch, Uncle Tom Cobbly an all... the US deludes itsel that it is civilisin the world wile rippin it off an oppressin so much of it... an on its coat tails r the ole self same British an French an Dutch an god knos who else x Imperialists an more.. spesh the Brits me shamed 2 say...

You know that Europe and the UK is at fault too, they established Israel (as part of collective Holocaust guilt from Europe) and didn't do anything for the Palestinian people.
Not 2 sure u can read 2 well..mayb ya needs new specs... wer in wot me posted did me excuse Britain or otha European countries from responsibility for the state a the world? Read again hun ...
Regardin Israel it wosn the British who wer responsible for its creation but the United Nations. The British mandate that allowed it 2 run Palestine from the old League of Nations wos due 2 expire an the Brits felt they cudn carry on wiv it an didn wan it renewed. The UN devised a plan 2 create an Israeli an an Arab state outa Palestine but the arabs rejected it. Howeva it wos decided that the state of Israel b established an that it wos in 1948.. wisely or unwisely these r but the facts.. war soon followed tween Israel an its Arab neighbours an ther has been simmerin an not so simmerin resentment eva since.
Time prevents me from sayin much more at present but ther is so much more cud b sed. Britain dus bear a huge historical responsibility for wot goes on the middle east, as dus the US at least since 1945. The gr8er share of responsibility howeva for the current crisis in the middle east belongs 2 the United States. It is the huge world power an is so one sided in its support of Israel that it is a block 2 progress in findin a solution. The Europeans, the British included try 2 b more constructive an balanced in ther treatment of the middle east situation but it is often hampered by a shizophrenic approach, in particular by the British.
So hun believe me.. howeva critical u think me is of the US don u worry ya lil bonce! Don excuse me own for summa the crap wich goes on 1 lil jot. In fact if ya knew me at all, ya wud kno me reserves lotsa me mos vitriolic criticisms for me own country.

Very true.
But darkeyes, dear, we find it quite a chore to read through your posts, sometimes, but we don't mean to bash you or anything, but aren't there any books or anything that could help you to improve your grammar?
We know that you are doing the best you can. We see in your posts that you write the way you talk, so hearing you would probably be easier than reading what you say. :P
But, we love you anyway.:)
