| Pelosi is fighting
for the rights of several hundred terrorists and foreign fighters captured on battlefields
around the world. They were caught in the act of attempting to kill coalition soldiers and
innocent men, women, and children. |
| Pelosi appears to
not understand that these combatants are not soldiers fighting under sovereign authority
of any nation. They do not meet the Geneva Conventions' criteria of being soldiers as
accepted by all civilized nations. Most importantly, Pelosi is attempting to give these
rogue fighters the rights that the US Constitution gives to US citizens only -- rights
these combatants are not even granted in their own homelands. |
| Pelosi is at odds
with most Americans on this issue. A recent poll shows again that a large majority of
Americans believe the detainees at Guantanamo are being treated fairly. A Rasmussen
Reports survey determined that 36% of Americans say the detainees are being treated better
than they deserve and another 34% say they are being treated about right. Only one in five
feels the detainees are being treated unfairly. |
| Pelosi appears to
have forgotten about the nearly 3,000 innocent American and foreign human beings who had
all rights taken when they were murdered on 9/11 and remain imprisoned in the ashes and
rubble of the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a lonely field in Pennsylvania. |
