One of the things that deffinately get me going is an article I read today on www.msnbc.msn.com . Human Rights groups are up in arms about 'ghost detainees" supposedly held by the United States government. Where were these human rights activist when the World Trade Center was destroyed? Were they crying for justice for all those innocent people who where murdered because someone decided America's politics wasn't what they agreed with? Were they crying for the children that were left behind, some without a mother, some without a father, and unfortunately others without either parent? Were they crying for the mothers and fathers who lost their children or the husbands and wives who lost their spouse? No, they weren't there yelling for justice yet now, they are demanding to know the location of some 39 "ghost detainees." They say you never know how you are going to react to something unless you live through it yourself. Well I thought we all lived through 9/11 together. It didn't matter I didn't have any family or friends that were in those buildings at the time I felt the pain and lose just like the rest of this country and the rest of the world should have because it proved if it can happen on US soil it can happen any where.

Where are those detainees? In my opinion I really don't care. I am sick and tired of hearing how poorly these "poor" detainees are being treated. I am sick and tired of hearing how our soldiers are punished for so called torture to the prisioners on their watch while soldiers, news reporters, and others that have been captured by these animals have been publically be-headed for all to see. Has any one of these human rights activist given thought to the families of these poor people? I think not. Let's protect the criminal is always the mind set and then they want to know why the world is so messed up it seems impossible to fix. I was always taught to pick my fights and to fight for what I believe in. Well I believe in the Red, White, and Blue and I will fight for it and defend it to my dying day. I may not always agree to what the government does but that's ok because if life was perfect it would be boring.

In my opinon all visitors from these so call "friendly nations" should be stopped from coming into this country. In my opinion, it's time to say enough is enough and to start looking after the people of this country and stop worrying about the people who want to come to this country. I am proud to say my grandparents were immigrants who came here from Italy and worked hard for what they had and taught their children to work hard and to respect the laws of this Great Nation. I am proud to say not only did my grandparents come here to this country but they loved it so much they became citizens of the United States. They burst with pride when they went to the polls on election day to vote because they believed their vote meant something. They believed they made a difference in this country. Today I'm not so sure they would feel that way. It seems to me the people who yell the loudest and cause the most problems get what they want from those in charge these days. The United States of America was built by immigrants who wanted better for their families. In todays world it's different, people are to interested in complaining about the way things are here and not fixing them. They are too interested in getting what they can get for nothing and teaching their children how to work the system from the time they enter this country. In my opinion they rape this country and then stand around and complain it's not enough.

Now we have human rights activist from 4 different organizations yelling and screaming how unfair we are to these "ghost detainees" being unfairly detained. I think the people of the United States need to stand up and remind every one about how unfair 9/11 was and how unfair terrorism is reqardless of whose soil it's on. Why should the good people of this world be held prisioner so the terroist could go free? That's what they are asking for. They are asking this and every government to give them the right to be free and do it again until they come to trial. They are asking the governments to trust the suspected criminal and put the people of not just one country but the world in jeporady. They are telling us the criminal should have more rights then the victim or the good, honest, hard working, people of this and every country. Some how this doesn't sound right. If a person is being detained by the government and is suspected of terrorism then go through the systems like the rest of the criminals when your time comes up. You may not like being detained but sometimes there's no better way to get to the truth.

To all those human rights activist out there I say, think about your family and what you would want for them. Think about how you would feel if your phone rang in the middle of the night to tell you one of your loved ones was killed from a terrorist attact. There's no way you can honestly tell me you would be able to turn the other cheeck and stand up for the person responsible and beg for him or her to be released. Put yourself in someone elses shoes and tell me you would do the same thing. I don't think you can, I know I can't!
