is anime a form of Piracy?! One Piece I guess?!

They grabbed people ostensibly from battlefields. They aren’t collecting evidence in a firefight. This isn’t a cop tv show. Theoretically battlefield combatants do not have the rights you seem to think they do.

I do not know what rights you think I think they have... but they do have some rights in International Law, not that the USA cares but they do.

Also, if all it takes is for someone to be in a "battlefield" to be automatically a combatant, well, it only shows your very American view of the world when you have never fought on your own soil. These villages, some of the poorest places on Earth, are the battefields. Where did you expect these people to go? their summer houses while the conflict passes? maybe take a sabatical from gathering dirty water from the only river while the solutions fixes itself?

If you think Im defending this choice you are mistaken.

Fair... my point against your line of thinking is that I would bet my left nut there was less than zero consideration for the safety of the detainees... In fact, the #1 reason they were put in Guantanamo to begin with was to "respect" somewhat the USA constitution, you know back in the good old days when they were at least pretending the constitution meant something

No you don’t get it. They did this because the Bush administration didn’t want to confront the problem of potentially innocent people being murdered

If this was their concern, why didn't they just let them go? take them back where they took them from? after all, they didn't have enough evidence to even charge them

Side note, you should really check your reasoning here bud. You are literally arguing that the USA, in an abundance of care for the safety of certain people, they took them and left them to rot in a concentration camp for decades...

Same here... even when Twitter was not even in the sights of fElon I found it to be super toxic. I signed up because "it was the best way to get the news" and left in about 4 days

confirming circular logic is circular... got it

why are people frothing over Bluesky? this is just Twitter but owned by a different oligarch

So instead they are kept uncharged and untried forever in Guantanamo??? where they are nicely safe and comfortable and not being tortured at all? for THEIR safety? got it

Well if what they are doing is not hitting ANY news outlets (even informal ones or their own sites) I sincerely doubt they are doing anything worthwhile (unless it happens to be some covert operation)

The other issue is that they really have little recourse when all branches of government AND the courts were handed over to the Orange Turd on a silver platter... what are they actually going to do?

The ONLY proper recourse left here is a general strike and I see Redditors helping on that front more than Unions

Isn't that what jails are for? in USA you have a ton of those I hear... if these people were guilty of anything, surely there would be zero trouble charging them (specially in the Kangaroo Military courts of the USA). Once convicted you can put them in any jail of your liking

Only if the lose...

Some of those people were guilty and should have been tried and jailed here

if so, why weren't they tried and sentenced?

Ok, commercials on no add streaming services are akin to renting a beach house all for your fam but the landlord shows up and takes a giant dump in the only bathroom available
