13-year-old boy released from Camp X-Ray

[dArKeR]

Washington - The United States military on Thursday released three teenaged boys - believed to be between the ages of 13 and 15 - who had been accused of supporting the Taliban and had been held at the prison for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the American defence department announced.

The boys, who were sent back to their home country - which was not identified - no longer posed a threat to the United States, the Pentagon said. Nor do they have further value as interrogation subjects, and are not going to be tried by the US government for any crimes, the military said.

The Bush Crime Family are the threat

1. That means

that when they were sent to Gitmo, they were between 10-12 years of age.

This is fucking SICK. Sick sick.

Why do they hate us? Gee...I wonder.....

Are they TRYING to make these kids hate America as early in life as possible?

Future terrorists in the making here, folks....if they weren't already (which they weren't), they certainly will be now. We've sown the seeds of hate and anger and desperation farther than the eye can see.

Nothing like planting that seed in a 10 year old child, taken from his home, without contact from friends or family---are their families dead? Do the families even know where their kids are? Will the kids remember their families?

At any rate---we've done more to these children in 3 years than a lifetime of war could have done.

We should be ashamed. We're making the enemeies we so despise. WE are the cause of it. WE have made it so.

2. The neo-cons want them to hate us more

and even attack us before the election. I wouldn't be surprised if a major attack happened in September or October. Then they can advance their fascist agenda even more. There's only so many countries to blame Sep. 11 on so they need another attack for the next invasions and next round of patriotic legislation.

3. They're FINALLY letting the goat herders go?

4. Whew!

What a relief to know that I'm no longer threatened by three teenagers!
Thank you SO much for protecting me, President Asshole.
