M3thod's example contained a whole forty people who hadn't been detained, hadn't been tortured.

yours, 4.000 people, in which I have no idea how many were recruited BEFORE or AFTER the concentration camp horrors, and how many actually had been through that. Vague example at best.

Irgun itself was created before hitler even came in to power, let alone that anyone knew of the idea of concentration camps at that time.

Why does it always have to be about jews.

sheesh...when anyone states innocent in a ww2 arena you automatically think jews.  You just do.

That's ridiculous. I'm sure that's exactly what you were thinking when you said people were treated humanly.

You should really investigate the other atrocities.

Good point, the Russians were innocent (of doing anything to the Germans), inhumanely treated by the Germans and went on to commit massacres.

there you have it, the only ones who carried out massacres ( I should've said revenge in the sense of bombing germans, innocent or not ), also being a small group - out of a huge number of people who survived torture.

Why is it ridiculous? According to Wiki the Rape of Nanking was from 1937-38, WWII is pretty widely accepted to have started in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. In any case, we're pointlessly debating a tangent here. I'm just arguing because that's where my opponent is taking the argument, I don't necessarily agree.

It can't really come as a shock to anyone that there are in fact guilty people at Guantanamo who would do what they did over again, and likely with more conviction. 11% "repeat terrorists" is better than what American convicts can muster, and they get such things as fair and speedy trials. I don't get how Americans can defend something as unamerican as Guantanamo. It goes against the values at the innermost core of the freedoms that are always cited as being defended when it comes to these things.

Neverending wars against immaterial concepts to justify betraying the rights and freedoms that are supposed to make America a better place than the dictatorships, would-be caliphates and corrupt religious monarchies that pollute this world. How can any American support compromising the ideals that they take pride in? What sense is there in letting the fight to protect your way of life corrupt the concepts and ideals that this way is founded on?

Yes, it's a difficult situation, but compromising ones own values and integrity as a nation should not be an option in trying to handle it.

@ ghetto, it's ridiculous because the massacre was clearly part of the same Japanese imperialistic attitude. Nit picking the exact day instead of looking at the broader context is ridiculous.

It was a good point.. one you clearly misunderstood. I did not make any reference to the innocent Russians. Your point is non relevant.

ghetto's assertion that people were for the most part treated humanely is inaccurate. That includes all parties involved.

They were all shot on the spot though. That's not really anything to do with what we're talking about. I'm fully aware stuff like that happened, I meant more in terms of POW's being put in similar conditions to that at Gitmo (ie sleep deprivation and water boarding). I'm not claiming be any kind of expert on everything that happened in WWII (the only one of the above I knew anything about was Malmedy) so I'm fully expecting a long list of other situations, but from all the books I have read on the subject, I have always heard that British and American POW's were treated pretty well on the whole by the Germans. I'm assuming the same went the other way.

That's just the surface ghetto. The previously mentioned siege on Leningrad was an attempt to starve out the city. The Nazis actually dropped pamphlets telling them that they were going to starve them. Hundreds of thousands died slowly. It resulted in cannibalism.

+ Shooting unarmed POW's is not humane treatment imho.

Hence a perfect illustration as to why taking prisoners in that particular theater doesn't work.

As I said earlier, I don't know all the facts about everything that happened in WWII, and frankly it's a pointless tangent that barely has any relevance to the OP.
Whilst shooting them in inhuman, they aren't alive to get pissed off and come after their oppressors.

And thank you Mr.Brinson, that's pretty much how I feel about it as well.

No, but tales of their (unarmed) martyrdom would certainly ignite a firestorm of reprisal and recruitment. .. and that is relevant to the topic.

Bush administration: 'We tortured Qahtani'
US lawyers battling against torture and other abuses at Guantánamo Bay are braced for George Bush issuing last-minute pardons to protect those in his administration most closely implicated.

The lawyers' warning came after a senior member of the Bush administration, Susan Crawford, admitted for the first time that torture had been carried out. Until now, the Bush administration, in particular the vice-president, Dick Cheney, had denied the interrogation techniques at Guantánamo constituted torture.


Bush can issue a pardon to anyone he chooses between now and leaving office at midday on Tuesday. But lawyers warned yesterday that although such a pardon would prevent the politicians and officials from being prosecuted in the US, they would face the risk of being arrested in other countries, as was President Augusto Pinochet.

Looks like the wanker bush has all his bases covered.

Presumably if they were released then they couldn't have been convicted of committing terrorism.

Innocent until proven guilty.

The title should read 'Ex-Gitmo prisoners become terrorists'.

Not the best option, because then trying to prove you weren't guilty goes down the shitter. You're released why risk that freedom? That's like someone convicted of a murder going down when they didn't do it, getting out and then murdering someone.
It's still possible that a % of them would be slightly pissed off at the shit they had to endure to warrant revenge.  They people didn't have rights so its wrong to compare them to a murderer who is fortunate to have rights.

Are you telling me if you were tortured you wouldn't think of maybe extracting just a little revenge?
Don't be stupid M3th, he'd get his book deal and write about what happened to him, but inform his capturers that there are no hard feelings.
Oh yes, trying to blow or shoot up a group of people is so much better, especially when you get thrown back in the slammer almost straight away. Bizarre they way people turn around in these threads sometimes. Innoncent people are allowed to die because one man was wronged and should be allowed to take fiery revenge on others, awesome strategy.

Hold on there slick.  I could have sworn we were debating if it was possible a gitmo prisoner would potentially turn to terrorism as a consequence of torture.  How you derive some of think this is okay for this potential eventuality is well baffling.
