47. Why do freepers hate the truth?

I mean, it's one thing to disagree with the article, it's something else entirely to go out of one's way to vote down a story just because you disagree with it.

I thought those types were all about the "free marketplace of ideas". I guess that, like so many of their other 'values', is a lie.

[Stirk]

48. My favorite line:

"Lane has argued that releasing pictures, even in redacted form, would violate Geneva Convention rules on prisoner treatment by subjecting detainees to additional humiliation or embarrassment."

And they simultaneously argue that these prisoners are not protected by the Geneva Convention.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

52. oh man, when they said that they were waiting a little bit

so that they could edit some of the video to protect the identities i just knew that these pictures weren't ever going to see the light of day.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

55. I cannot believe that any court or judge would accept that argument

Those parties responsible for the humilitation and embarrassment (i.e. our federal government) are in no position to argue on behalf of those they've harmed. And besides, I thought (1) redacting the photos and videos to remove the identities was what that extension was all about and (2) that children are not combattant detainees within the definition of the Geneva Convention.
