They still don't get the same right as citizens.

You don't know that.

Here we go again...

 RS> Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out!

Where did Jeff say any such thing?

 RS> Did you know three *REAL* terrorists were arrested last week?

Good.

Terrible.

 RS> Anything about this from the Justice Department?

And the Justice Department should have said... what exactly?

 RS> National news? Nope, just local.

Local to where? Sheboygan? I thought Sheboygan was crime free.

 RS> Are these *REAL* terrorists at Gitmo? Nope.

You idiot, they aren't enemy combatants. They weren't captured by the
military, either. You *do* realize that Guantanamo Bay is a military
installation, don't you?

 RS> You see, instead of being those "other brown people,"
like Mimi says,

IOW, they are citizens.

 RS> Oh but that's different!

It is. The people you talk about aren't enemy combatants from a war zone.

Only an idiot like you wouldn't know the difference.
