Is US Treatment of Detainees any way to Keep America Safe and Help Create Good-Will?

Read about the many who are crying out against the treatment and possible mis-treatment of Aafia Siddiqui...look for and find plenty items and photos of angry activists about US treatment of Aafia and others in Pakistan, Pakistan moderate and progressive press alike as well as Tehran, India, Britain and elsewhere...Ask: what are the impressions the children of these activists are getting of America? Find a startling You Tube video of Aafia's case with a human rights group and Aafia's sister who claim there are 500 more such disappeared persons--many who've been sold (some imply with Musharraf's knowledge) to the US...

Look what a key player in the "war on terror" said several years ago which has helped set the structure and attitude of ongoing pretenders of "justice"

October 7, 2004: During Hearing, Military Commission Panel Member Tells Detainee to Stop Referring to International Law (Also found in transcripts and reports)

British Guantanamo prisoner Feroz Abbasi argues during his Combatant Status Review Tribunal hearing that he should be granted POW status in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. One of the three Tribunal members, an air force colonel, replies: “Mr. Abbasi, your conduct is unacceptable…. I don’t care about international law. I don’t want to hear the words ‘international law’ again.” [Sunday Times (London), 11/21/2004]

Other reports quote simply...

"Mr Abbasi... I don’t care about international law. I don’t want to hear the words international law again."
