QuoteThis is what happens when you lock people up without regard for their civil rights:Originally Posted by anto1208
its the same civil rights laws that wouldnt allow the FBI to look at one of the 9/11 hijackers laptop which contained details of the twin towers attack and could have stopped it when he was arrested after a tip off from the flight school , all because his rights had to be protected .

There was a similar article in the New York Times about another such falsely arrested and subsequently tortured individual two days ago (can't post a link, as you need a subscription to view).
The vast majority of the detainees at Guantanamo have not been charged, and quite possibly won't ever be. None have been allowed see the evidence against them.
Incidentally, I spent a year in Indonesia, the world's most populous muslim country, and talked to a lot of higly educated intelligent women who wore the veil. It's certainly not a cut and dry case of women being oppressed into wearing it. All of the women I spoke to said that they had chosen to do it (whereas their parents' generation had not), as it allowed them to be taken seriously as people, rather than having to deal with men who just saw them as sexy chicks in short skirts.
