Yep. Shure did. So did Yasser Arafat & Jerry Adams. But they're really nice people now. Unless they killed your loved ones!

It's ridiculous.  Islam is what turned those people into terrorists and this has been going on since long before the US ever existed.\n\nBut, more to the point, racism of the type you are talking about DOES NOT EXIST in the western world.  If anything, western countries, especially the united states are rabidly anti-racist.  The average white person would be MORTIFIED if he came across any situation where he could even remotely be thought of as racist (unfortunately, the same is not true of blacks and hispanics in this country).\n\nThe above situation is being used as a weapon against america by marxists.  Unfortunately, almost all "human rightss" groups are nothing more than fronts for extremely evil people who want to see democracy overthrown and replaced with communist dictatorships.  One of their tools is to convince people to do things that are obviously not in their own best interests, by labeling them racist.  Sensitive whites freak out over this and quickly change their behavior to conform to what the marxists want.\n\nIn this way, capturing and convicting terrorists becomes "racist" and they end up with light sentencing for their heinous crimes.  Removing one of the most evil dictators in history becomes a "racist war for oil" (labeling someone as greedy is another tool these jackasses use).  Preventing a nuclear holocaust by invading Iran, is suddenly, "racist".\n\nThese people are BAD news.  They are trying to manipulate things so that millions, perhaps, billions of people die while governments are over run by blood thirsty muslim hordes.  They figure that, somehow, communism will take over in the chaos.  Utopia will soon follow. Stupid, crazy, and evil is what best describes your typical marxist.\n\nWe better wake up to what these jackasses are doing and start rejecting their criticism as a kneejerk response.

I believe the USA is committing acts that constitute as terrorism due to the protection of economical investment.\nWe also have to keep in mind that invasion of countries by the USA have been recurrent trough out USA history that represent no real threat and have been accomplished to defend different ideals. First the ideals started as a form of economical gratitude in which USA would become wealthier,next to defend their economical posts in Latin America, then came war on drugs, and now the war on terrorism has given USA the right to invade countries with cultures and beliefs they know nothing and surely do not respect, therefore labeling the USA as terrorists.

this man portrays himself as a dictator, like his word is everything, how can we call those who kidnap in war kidnappers, when bush calls the people we are holding,  detainees, is he not the same?\n\nthey hold people to prisoners, and we hold people prisoners, but we call what they do something else it makes americans feel like they are different then the otherside fighting for their beliefs..

I know exactly who you are talking about..the guy was living near my home town.  He never really got shot, He faked it all because enough people were calling him out on his hatred and disregard for our military's members' lives.  Unfortunately, I no longer have that link because it disgusted me so much.

Aren't they the guys who held all of those American and British hostages back in the 1980's? Terry Anderson, John MacCarthy, Tom Sutherland, etc?  At least they were released, of course, but I agree with the answer above that our perception is that of a bunch of terrorists.\n\nPlease note I said Perception. I really don't know anything about that group other than what was on the news back then. But I'm also under the impression that they were bullied by Israel and that hostage taking was one of their ways of trying to fight back.

You're thinking of General Manuel Noriega, the one-time de facto leader of Panama.  In 1989, US military forces invaded Panama and took him into custody.  He was taken to the US, where he was put on trial for and convicted of drug trafficking, racketeering, and other bad stuff.  He was sentenced to federal prison for 30 years.  He's eligible for parole this year.\n\nThe press dubbed him "Pineapple Face" because of his pockmarked complexion, a result of severe acne.\n\nHope this helped!

I heard this was a rumor from his trip to Mexico. Apparently, however, the suit is still in court and is pending a verdict. The real truths will come out on the stand. Link below is to a TheSmokingGun article describing the suit with filed documents.

They were pretty clearly idiots (for example, they asked the fake Al-Qaeda contact for "terrorist uniforms").  At best, they were yahoos with big terrorist dreams.

No.  He alleged that the Nicaraguan Contras were selling drugs in the United States to fund their activities in South America.  This has been pretty much proven true through numerous documents and interviews.\n\nWhat he implied in his reporting and following speeches was that the CIA knew this was going on and, since they supported the Contras, allowed it to continue unhindered by police.  The has never been proven (although most related parts of the investigation were sealed as classified documents).\n\nThe biggest claim of the CIA-Contra link came from two drug dealers.  Norwin Meneses Cantarero, who was a former Contra turned drug-lord claimed he was able to operate in the US because the CIA kept the police away.\nAnother was drug kingpin, Oscar Danilo Blandon, who during the early 1980s, was the largest supplier of cocaine in the United States.  Upon his arrest, he claimed he was getting his drugs from Nicaragua, and the CIA was helping him.  Both were seen as drug-dealers trying to salvage themselves through conspiracy theories, but their claims still remain and others have come forward to both verify and disprove their claims.\n\nBut as to the idea of your question that he proved the CIA introduced drugs into black communities to destroy them, it isn't true.  He alleged that the CIA protected drug dealers to give money to the Contras.  And Cocaine was just as destructive to white communities during the time of the alleged CIA-Iran-Contra affair as it was to black ones.

Actually it has happened at least 3 times in the past century. (Sometimes we don't learn from history!) Anyway...It was crudola on a stick. Stick with the MinuteMen and their plan. Close the Border. Built a wall. Fine any businessman hiring illegals $10,000 per hire. Force the IRS to reveal the names of companies submitting invalid SSN numbers (illegals using invalid phony documents) and raid all those companies. Use the proceeds to hire more Border Patrol persons. VOTE out anyone failing to stand by Americans and against the illegals. Come to think of it, do this first!

Having to answer after the rant from that other person, I'm thinking you're just looking at comparing Guantanimo to something as heinous as slavery, not that you were actually saying we were using them as slaves, YES? So reading your sentance I would say that it is the worst breach of human rights since America created Japanese Internment Camps in the 40's.  Yes JAPAN was our enemy, but not the people who had been here in the US for decades.  Yes the MIDEAST is our enemy, but that doesn't make every MIDEAST Person our enemy..  I like your analogy (well actually mine!)

In his own words, I think he is either a thinker or a rodeo clown!  You ought to see his show on CNN. The on on Al-Jezzera's propaganda was top shelf! They even have cartoons for 5 year olds that glamorize homicide bombers!!! SICK!!!!!

Not directly.  But as a way of funding arms to the Contras in Nicaragua, he allowed it to happen.

nope, wasnt him. they had that guy on tv a while back, and wasnt marilyn manson. though, i have read interview with M M where he both said it was him, and denied it. i assume he was doing it for the press..... or he was baked out of his mind.

the way he twisted things to makre it seem like he was doing his country a favor by socialising it and making it ready to go to war with the rest of europe under the banner of nationalistic pride....exactly the opposite of what the demonrats want to do to this country today...
