My wife is an American, she is NOT an american citizen yet. THAT is a fact. If someone is the president of an american division of a club, that club's American President, does that DENOTE (lol) that they are the POTUS? Learn your language, please.

Nothing to be sorry for when you're wrong. The American is in reference to the bank, not the person. Had he not been a Canadian, they would have said: "A Syrian computer programmer living and working in Canada". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beastly Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 being syrian, in itself, is not a crime, tho he was treated as a criminal......its not cause for deportation and thats pretty agreeable right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rememberduane Posted September 25, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Originally posted by Stratotone He was still a Syrian Citizen. Doesn't matter. Deportation goes to country of residence, not country of birth. It's a loophole they used. They are quite aware of Syria's "interrogation" techniques.

Members DeathMonkey Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Originally posted by gafyagaton The world is very selective in what angers them and what doesnt. How can we fight that sort of behaviour by engaging in that sort of behaviour? Cases like that of Mr. Arar would not be affected by the compromise legislation on detainee treatment worked out between the White House and Republican senators last week, since it would have no effect on interrogation methods used by other countries. In fact, the proposed bill would strip non-Americans held overseas under United States control of the right to challenge their detention in federal court. “It’s a huge hole in what Congress is doing,” said Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York, which represents Mr. Arar in his lawsuit. “The government can still send people secretly to other countries where they’ll be tortured.” As soon as our "leaders" decided we couldn't win according to the precepts of honor, we lost. It doesn't matter how many people die, because the idea for which we are fighting is already dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they harvest organs from prisoners after killing them. And they have slave labor. And censor the internet and magazines and airwaves.That should keep you busy for awhile. I'm looking forward to your first investigative report.Pete I'm well aware of China's human rights record. I'm well aware of human rights abuses all over the world. Problem being, I'm an American. It's my home, it's my country. See my sig. I want to believe that's my country. When I tell people that this summer, I'm going to go volunteer as a teacher in an orphanage in Uganda, they tell me to clean up my own back yard (despite the fact that I have volunteered in the US more than most and will continue to do so). Then when I say I want to make a difference in the US and other first-world industrialized nations, they tell me to go elsewhere. I don't get it. The United States is supposed to be a bastion of freedom, economic prosperity, humanity, righteous power, and acceptance. Maybe we never were, but I've seen true American spirit in the vein. I have seen men without arms and men drooling on themselves in wheelchairs because they fought to protect those values. I've seen the coffins of men who gave their lives for them. Is it not hypocritical to send your boys and girls into battle, telling them they're protecting freedom, justice, and the American way, when the current administration is battling its own party in order to keep our government from acting under the Geneva Conventions? I believe in the things that the United States is supposed to represent. They ring true to me every time I see our flag or think about my forefathers who have fought in every single war the US has been in prior to the Gulf War, all the way back to my ancestor William Garrett, a bricklayer in Jamestown in 1607. So maybe you think I'm wrong for trying to hold those accountable who undercut and demean my values. Maybe I'm not a patriot because I think that our nation, my nation, should be a "house upon a hill", an example for the world to follow. Maybe I'm misguided in thinking our nation can always be better. But maybe I'm not, and that's what I'm going to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't graduate with your current lack of ability to analyze phrasing precisely. Those loopholes you are complaining about are there because of guys like you not seeing that they exist and locking down the phrasing beyond interpretation. Perhaps you will serve your own cause better through activism than crafting of law? That poster that "argued before the bar", that everyone jumped on? He said nothing wrong, people presumed things, and called him a liar. What he said was suggestive, as was the wording in the article. You will need to learn the difference between statement of fact and suggestion through ommission of any contradiction if you wish to practice law.
