[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote]PP, do you know what a freedom fighter is? To them, the U.S.A. Is an aggressive force, who invaded and occupied their land in an aggressive force. A freedom fighter resists against an illegitimate or oppressive force or government. We are that force in Afghanistan. It's a war I get it, but do you really expect the entire citizenry to just sit back without attempting to fight back. And because it was/is a war of aggression POWs occur. Or do you think that anyone who fights back against the US is an automatic terrorist. I know people like you think that we, the united states of America, are omnipotent and omniscient, everybody else should bow down and heal, but thats not reality [/quote]

So, this lovely gentleman is a “freedom fighter?”  If he is a “freedom fighter” then Charles Manson is a mercy killer.

Mullah Mohammad Fazl was a senior commander in the Taliban army in the 1990s, rising to become its chief of staff. [b]He is thought by many to have supervised the killing of thousands of Shiite Muslims near Kabul between 1998 and 2001. According to WikiLeaks documents, he was also present at the 2001 prison riot that killed CIA operative Johnny Micheal Spann, the first U.S. citizen killed in the Afghan war.[/b][/quote]

Interesting that "thought by many" and "present at" are now grounds for 12 year confinement. The same people complaining about America becoming a dictatorship have surprisingly low bars for burdens of proof. At this rate, "looked at me funny" will be grounds for execution. Oh, I forgot, it already is in "stand your ground" states.

Equally interesting that members of Congress, who evidently have a lot more detail about these 5 “upstanding individuals” also refer to them as TERRORISTS.  Except maybe Pelosi and Reid who will stand behind Obama regardless of his actions.  [/quote]

The term "terrorist" means absolutely nothing. It is simply used to describe someone we don't like. By any normal definition of the word, most of the Syrian opposition would be "terrorists" and the US would be a state supporter of terrorism and we would have to sanction ourselves. For that matter, when Afghan jihadists were fighting Soviets, we supplied them with weapons and funding. The Taliban was born in Pakistani training camps that the US supported. But, now they are terrorists.

Time was that when you said that someone was a "killer of Americans," you had some evidence that they had killed Americans. These days, you can just randomly call anyone a killer of Americans without the slightest proof. Then, accuse others of not being factual. Must be nice being a conservative and not being troubled by facts.

Guess you don’t believe John McCain either:
John McCain welcomed the release of soldier Bowe Bergdahl, who was held for five years by Islamic Islamists, but said the men being freed had 'the blood of Americans on their hands'.

The five freed detainees, McCain said, "are the hardest of the hard-core. These are the highest high-risk people.” (CBS Face the Nation)[/quote]

I stopped believing John McCain a long time ago.  Old age has not done him well.  [/quote]
