Line in the sand--Lock them up and throw away the key!

I am no Dick Cheney fan....but he nailed it this week in his remarks about Guantanamo Bay detainees. The simple reality, according to this author, is that if these prisoners are EVER released, they will simply go home and begin plotting harm against America, the West and America's allies around the world.

Take a look at Israel. Our ONLY ally in the Middle East. Did I mention Israel is America's ONLY ally in the Mid-East? OH, right....sorry...cause it is pretty important.

Israel says they do not torture their prisoners. Having said that, Israel also comments on a daily basis that they will do anything and everything they can to continue to provide the highest level of security, and peace within Israel proper. You know what that means?

It means when they get a really bad guy in captivity--they torture the shit out of him. They do unthinkable things to him. Why? Because they NEED to know what the bad guys are up to. Without that information, obtained via torture there would be no more Israel. If they stopped using extreme tactics to obtain information, it would be only weeks before Israel was attacked in ways the world has never seen. The use of torture, and other unthinkable measures keeps Israel one step ahead of their enemies. Without it, they would be fighting blind, against a raging mob and the party would surely be over. Of course, they can just use or sodium pentathol at times, but torture also sends a powerful psychological message to your enemies.

Here is a clip of both Cheney and Obama speaking out on this issue during the week. Let me say again, I HATE Dick Cheney. So yes, he has that evil smirk on his face when speaking, but look at how Obama also has a particular "look" during his remarks. His smirk says, " I won, I am right, and I will continue to highlight this." It is a look of patronage and one of mockery.




The problem with this of course, is that if we release these captives, they will return home and begin their own Jihads. NO--THEY WILL NOT RETURN TO THEIR HOMES AND LIVE NORMAL LIVES. They simply will not. This may be one of those times our Country must pay for a long time for crimes committed against human beings....but we cannot release these men back into the global population. These guys are on the same page as serial killers. We all know we would never believe a serial killer has been rehabilitated and would welcome him/her back into the general population. The same holds for these America hating Jihadists hell bent on destroying all of us.

My last point is one Cheney makes as well----the release of these prisoners will leave our country vulnerable to attack. How? Simple--these men upon returning home will not be hero's. They will be received as Gods. They will bring their already massive amounts of hatred towards the West back to their homes, and turn hundreds if not thousands more minds into jelly and then teach them that ALL if their problems, the whole world's problems are the fault of America, Israel and the rest of the West.

Lock them up, throw away the key, and let us all continue to be safe.
