Sorry to say that so frankly but I’m disgusted by the foreign policy of the US. But then I read Slashdot, a site which I consider only educated ppl read and ppl who are able to think for themselves… And then I read so many weird comments relativising Guanatanamo.
The fact is, that the US is hijacking foreigners in foreign countries, flying them to 3d-world countries to torture them and circumvent US laws.

Just one question: What would you say if … say Germany, a powerful first world country and not usually seen as being part of the “axis of evil” would hijack a US citzien visiting Italy, flying him to say… Afghanistan, let him torture him by locals to gain information, figure out that I was a mistake and after holding him for 2+ years release him without any charges.

What would you then think of Germany as a country?

Thing is, the US is exactly behaving like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_El-Masri [wikipedia.org]

Then imagine reading a german website where a lots of Germans would say: “Well capturing foreigners and holding them without trial is not such a bad thing. At least we’re not torturing them… well at least not so brutal… and giving them food. And bibles.”

Then figure what your opinion of Germany and the German ppl would be.
