SCOTUS REJECTS RIGHTS OF GITMO-GUYS WHILE ATF GOES AFTER PRETEND NINJA

This one should be filed under R for Redundant Story About USG abusing/ignoring rights of humans. It seems like there are so many examples of the USG ignoring/abusing the rights of humans I wonder why I even bother blogging on them.

ANYway, here comes an excerpt from [http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SCOTUS_GUANTANAMO_DETAINEES?SITE=7219&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2006-04-17-10-04-32|an April 17, 2006 article] from AP.Org, ENJOY:

The Supreme Court rejected an appeal Monday from two Chinese Muslims who were mistakenly captured as enemy combatants more than four years ago and are still being held at the U.S. prison in Cuba.

The men's plight has posed a dilemma for the Bush administration and courts. Previously, a federal judge said the detention of the ethnic Uighurs in Guantanamo Bay is unlawful, but that there was nothing federal courts could do.

Lawyers for the two contend they should be released, something the Bush administration opposes, unless they can go to a country other than the United States.

A year ago, the U.S. military decided that Abu Bakker Qassim and A'Del Abdu al-Hakim are not "enemy combatants" as first suspected after their 2001 arrests in Pakistan. They were captured and shipped to Guantanamo Bay along with hundreds of other suspected terrorists.

The U.S. government has been unable to find a country willing to accept the two men, along with other Uighurs. They cannot be returned to China because they likely will be tortured or killed.

Ahhh, FUN. You gotta love a country that promises inalienable rights for all humans and delivers none of them to people they don't like.

HEY, that's MY country!!

OH and special thanks to [http://gypsyjr.livejournal.com/|LJ User GypsyJR] for [http://gypsyjr.livejournal.com/759693.html?view=3976077#t3976077|posting] on a story about how the ATF went after a guy coming from a "pirate vs. ninja event" according to [http://www.redandblack.com/vnews/display.v/ART/443c71ed40b94|this April 12, 2006 article] at RedAndBlack.Com. Here's a clip:

ATF agents are always on alert for anything suspicious — including ninjas.

Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm agents, on campus Tuesday for Project Safe Neighborhoods training, detained a “suspicious individual” near the Georgia Center, University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said.

Jeremiah Ransom, a sophomore from Macon, was leaving a Wesley Foundation pirate vs. ninja event when he was detained.

After being held in investigative detention, he was found to have violated no criminal laws and was not arrested.

“It was surreal,” Ransom said. “I was jogging from Wesley to Snelling when I heard someone yell ‘freeze.’”

Ransom said he thought a friend was playing a joke before he realized officers had guns drawn and pointed at him.

ATF agents had noticed Ransom’s suspicious behavior and clothing and gave chase, apprehending him, Williamson said.

“Agents noticed someone wearing a bandanna across the face and acting in a somewhat suspicious manner, peeping around the corner,” said ATF special agent in charge Vanessa McLemore.

Ransom was wearing black sweatpants and an athletic T-shirt with one red bandanna covering the bottom half of his face and another covering the top of his head, Williamson said.

“Seeing someone with something across the face, from a federal standpoint — that’s not right,” McLemore said, explaining why agents believed something to be amiss.

Yes, of COURSE, if you see a man wearing a bandana over his face HE MUST BE A TERRORIST!!

He can't be just dicking around on a random afternoon with some friends. HE MUST BE AN EVIL-DOER!

LET THIS BE A WARNING TO ANY AND ALL PIRATES OR NINJA READING THIS POST!!

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS ON TO YOU!

WATCH OUT!
