Mohamed el-Gharani, arrested in Pakistan in October 2001, was sent to his home country of Chad. In January, a US court had ordered his release because there was no evidence to prove he was an "enemy combatant". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8096402.stm Yet another great advert for the land of the free and the home of the brave....

Pakistan is a bit far away from Chad, no? But 14 is plenty old enough to be a fighter, and in the US, we treat killers as adults even if they're not 18. But we're supposed to prove they're killers, and in a timely fashion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
