		<description>Wikipedia says it well: 

In law, rendition is a &quot;surrender&quot; or &quot;handing over&quot; of persons or property, particularly from one jurisdiction to another. For criminal suspects, extradition is the most common type of rendition. ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendition_(law)

In the current context, the Obamites are going to take people from, say, Afghanistan, and render them unto, say, Pakistan, to be sure they are treated better than we would have treated them at Gitmo.

I blame John McCain.  And Oprah.</description>

These are those DailyKooks, HuffPukes, CodeCommies, that thought they voted for &quot;Change&quot; and &quot;Hope&quot; = &lt;img src=&quot;http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/312/loser3pf.gif&quot; height=&quot;110&quot; width=&quot;110&quot;&gt;

Interesting how the morons in Hollywood made the &quot;Rendition&quot; film failing to understand it related more to their first &quot;Black President&quot; Clinton than it did to Bush

Sing with me: God Bless America.....

		<description>Under the Geneva Conventions, and yes I have a copy (and used to teach the subject.)  
GITMO detainees are either:
&quot;Enemy Combatants&quot; if they can prove they are members of an organized military (uniforms, etc) from a recognized nation state.  
or
 &quot;Illegal Combatants&quot; if they cannot meet the requirements of an Enemy Combatant.

Illegal Combatants can be executed after a brief field military tribunal.  The Geneva Conventions as well as international law, deal with terrorism very severly - recognizing the threat it poses to lawful society.  

Enemy Combatants can be held, without hearing, until the end of hostilities with the nation they represent.</description>

		<description>..... and it scares the living hell out of me that I&#039;m even thinking like this.

This woman does not like the military and..... ooooh, I don&#039;t want to get angry, so I&#039;ll just get to my point.

Let&#039;s just say one thing leads to another and &quot;we the people&quot; have taken the last camel that broke the straw back of our individual freedom and rights and Americans from all walks of life who will not allow our America to go under, make the leap into physically taking her back.

At that point, are &quot;we the people&quot; not enemy combatants ?  We&#039;re rising up against the duly elected authority (granted they are usurping the laws and all that), we&#039;re not wearing uniforms, not a recognized entity, etc.

I hate myself for thinking like this, but I&#039;m trying to think like them to help prepare for what I see coming faster every day.</description>

		<description>&quot;You do not have to be wearing a full blown uniform to have protection. Just something to distinguish you from civilians while engaged in hostilities. Also bear arms openly. And take measures to prevent colateral damage.&quot; 

Yeah, the only thing that would apply there is the &quot;bear arms openly&quot; part.  Certainly not that last bit.

&quot;German spies in the Battle of the Bulge masceraded (sic) as American GIs.&quot;

And were caught and executed.  If only we were so efficient.

&quot;And, under the Geneva Conventions, torture is outlawed.&quot;

I thought you were trying to &quot;dispel some mythconceptions.&quot;  (Sorry, is that some kind of new cyber-lingo, or do you have some sort of typing lisp?)
The prisoners at Gitmo are treated better than a ton of people that live in the U.S.  They have free food, free health care, just not freedom to murder.  What evidence do you have of torture?  And a made-up story about a guard pissing on a Koran doesn&#039;t count.</description>

		<description>&quot;Just something to distinguish you from civilians while engaged in hostilities.&quot;

Typically, they did not stand out from civilians.

&quot; Also bear arms openly. And take measures to prevent co(l)lateral damage.&quot;

They took no steps to minimize civilian casualties, even using them as shields.

So, what is your conclusion of their status?
Didn&#039;t quite discern that from your post.

		<description>You do not have to be wearing a full blown uniform to have protection. Just something to distinguish you from civilians while engaged in hostilities. Also bear arms openly. And take measures to prevent colateral damage. 

Nor, do you have to be part of a nation-state&#039;s military to be protected. It covers irregulars and guerillas which the Taliban and other orgnanizations fall into. Independent Partisan groups are also protected. You do not have to be marching to the tune of the commanding officer of the opposition force to be protected.

		<description>...or even a good idea.  I think that we have a reasonably workable system already - it&#039;s called Gitmo - to handle the unique circumstances of this problem, and it bothers me immensely that my government has decided to wholeheartedly embrace a program that&#039;s going to get innocent people mutilated and killed.
