The question is, where are Mueller and Allen and these allegedly concerned politicians when it comes to ******** who are ****** or lured into fighting against the US, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq? Where are they when those ******** are captured by US military ****** and incarcerated with adult captives in hell-holes like Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan, Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, or Guantanamo, where there was a special ********’s section called Camp Iguana? I certainly haven’t heard a word from either Obama or that famous POW McCain in defense of America’s ***** war prisoners.
Like ***** prostitutes, these captives, if they were even actually involved in operations against the US (who would know, since they’ve never been given hearings in court, and since in many cases the evidence, such as it is, against them is the result of *******, either of the ******** themselves, or of others), are at worst ***** soldiers, who cannot be held responsible for their actions. Indeed, under the UN Charter and the Geneva Convention, as amended by a protocol signed by the US in 2002, any of them who, at the time of their capture, were under 18, as was Khadr, are to be considered not POWs or “enemy combatants,” but rather victims, who need care and treatment.
Aside from Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), who has filed an article of impeachment against President Bush, charging him with a war crime for holding these ********, and for authorizing rules of engagement that have encouraged the ******* of ******** as young as 14, who are “presumed” to be combatants, and for the four other members of the House who have co-signed his impeachment bill (Rep. Robert Wexler, D-FL, Rep. Barbara Lee, D-CA, Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-CA, Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-WI, Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-NY, and Rep. Sam Farr, D-CA), no members of Congress have called for the protection of ******** captured or held by US military ******.
Their, and the American public’s “concern” for the welfare of ******** is narrowly limited to those who are lured or ****** into prostitution. That’s it.
