#1 He has no rights.

And plenty of wrongs.

All the "international human rights" groups - who NEVER ACTUALLY DID ANYTHING TO SECURE ANYONE'S HUMAN RIGHTS and in any event don't think anyone has any rights if they're (a) black or (b) not in permanent kill-Americans mode - can FOAD.

These clowns give new meaning to the term clueless assholes. :-(

#2 yes. respect his rights as much as he respected the rights of others.

I'm all for that.

#3 These "human rights" ativists care more about < 600
detainees that the whole rest of the U.S, British, and European population. That guy has information inside him that could save many lives, what would you do for 600million people's safety? The good of the many outweighs the good of the few, or the one.

#4 I think HRW can rest assured that Uncle Sam won't cut his head off with a dull machete.

#5 And if by some chance Mr. Libbi's head did become detached, it would not be placed at the foot of the bed of anyone from Human Rights Watch.

#6 HRW has no respect for my "human rights" therefore I have no respect for HRW or it's members, To dumb to be scumb.

al-Libbi gets 3 hots and clean cot and clothing, much more that he and his ilk give anyone they have taken prisoner.

A bullet to the back of the head as soon as we drain his brain of every bit of information we can get is what he has coming. That's not wht he will get however.

#7 Glad to see HRW has Darfur & Cuba all solved, so they can deal with big problems like protecting a guy who plotted to kill a head of state....twice.

Wasn't there supposed to be some prison on an Aleutian island, or did the guvmint decide that was too cruel for the native fauna?

#9 I vote we do exactly what HRW wants and follow the Geneva Convention to the letter.

And shoot Mr. Al-Libbi in the head.

He is an unlawful combatant and therefore can be shot indiscriminately.

In fact we almost *must* execute him or no other country will respect the Geneva Convention when it comes to our soldiers who are prisoners -- why should they??

#11 Sorry, HRW, the operative word is "human" where sub-humans don't qualify.

Where's Hannibal Lecter when you need him?
