Why is The Bill of Rights called 'The Bill of Rights' and not 'The Bill of
Privileges'?

=========================

You mean the bill fo rights guaranteed to US Citizens, and not rogue
terrorists around the globe? Mabe you can explain why US Citizens dont get
to have the same rights as French Citizens when in france,or any other
country for that matter.

The Bush's gitmo is a Soviet's gulag.

==================

Even the Liberal Wash Post ripped you maggots over your outrageous
ccomparison of Guitmo to Soviet gulags.

Washington Post. And the reason the Post condemned Amnesty International was
that Anne Applebaum, author of the most definitive work yet on the Gulag,
sits on the Post's editorial board. She knows how immoral the comparison is.

She knows what happened at Gulag. But I believe that most members of the
press do not. Leftist moral confusion and animosity toward America and
President Bush are not the only reasons for the widespread acceptance of the
Amnesty International libel of America and its trivialization of Stalin's
horrors. The other is the simple ignorance of history -- especially
concerning Communist atrocities -- among many of the world's journalists. An
Associated Press report of May 26th (printed in the Washington Post and
countless other newspapers) described the Gulag thus: "Thousands of
prisoners of the so-called gulags died from hunger, cold, harsh treatment
and overwork."

Thousands? This is our mainstream news media. I am certain the average
journalist has little idea about how many people Stalin murdered in the
Gulag.

So, for the record, here are some comparisons between the Gulag and
Guantanamo, courtesy of David Bosco and published in The New Republic:

Individuals detained: Gulag -- 20 million. Guantanamo -- 750 total.

Number of camps: Gulag -- 476 separate camp complexes comprising thousands
of individual camps. Guantanamo -- five small camps on the U.S. military
base in Cuba.

Reasons for Imprisonment: Gulag -- Hiding grain; owning too many cows; need
for slave labor; being Jewish; being Finnish; being religious; being middle
class; having had contact with foreigners; refusing to sleep with the head
of Soviet counterintelligence; telling a joke about Stalin. Guantanamo --
Fighting for the Taliban in Afghanistan; being suspected of links to Al
Qaeda and other terrorist groups.

Red Cross Visits: Gulag -- none that Bosco could find. Guantanamo -- regular
visits since January 2002.

Deaths as a Result of Poor Treatment: Gulag -- at least two to three million
(Bosco understates). Guantanamo -- no reports of prisoner deaths.

If Amnesty International does not fire Irene Khan and retract her obscene
comparison, it is unworthy of respect or support. A new non-leftist
anti-torture organization must be built.
