Diffing Guantanamo Bay SOP Manuals

James Hardine writes "The Washington Post is reporting that Wikileaks has released another manual for Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay together with the US military's rendition operations manual. This release follows from the Wikileaks release of the 2003 SOP Manual as discussed on Slashdot last month. Wikileaks compares the two manuals (2003, 2004) and reveals damning changes in official US detainee policy in exquisite detail. Who knew that diff could be such a powerful political weapon?"

Re:Bush is GREAT,

Traitor? You're the one who supported and voted for the man who uses the Constitution of the US as toilet paper

Oh please. Yes, the PATRIOT ACT sucks donkey dick, but the Democrats have been in Congress for a year now, and I've not seen them approve one bill to get rid of it. Same with FISA warrants. So, stop you Democratic dick sucking and look at reality. Your boys don't give a shit either.

Now, aside from that, in general, Bush has extended the amount of rights to the American people. He has:

a) reduced taxes. Therefor, people have more economic power.
b) reduced regulations. Therefor, people have more real power. Any law the government does not enforce, is more power for the people. Period.
c) would have privatized social security, giving people even MORE power.
d) interpreted the 2nd amendment as a right to keep and bear arms, stuffed the bench with judges who feel the same, and, best of all, allowed the so-called assault weapons ban to expire.
e) proposed a national sales tax or flat tax to replace current tax code. This, incidentally, would require the government to collect less personal information.

Conversely, Democrats would:

a) increase taxes
b) put in additional rules to "save the planet"
c) put in additional rules to "save women, minorities, etc"
d) have introduced legislation to add more auditors to the IRS
e) have introduced legislation to give the government access to all of your medical records.

So, in one corner, you have Bush occasionally reading your email. In the other corner,

And, finally, if you have been reading Slashdot at all, you might have noticed THAT THE GUYS THAT ARE SUING DATRUTHDUDE IN NEW JERSEY A R E D E M O C R A T S. That's right, your boys are suing so that every fricking city in the USA has the power to overturn free speech. Way to go.

And then, to top off that gargantuan fuck-up, you're here defending your pathetic decision making with threats of lethal violence. I only want to beat some sense into those people who are responsible for the ruin of my civil rights, my privacy, and my liberties

Let's see, you are basically making the argument that you have the right to be people up for your supposed loss of liberties. As I pointed out above, under Bush, you've actually gotten more real power. Let's see, the PATRIOT and FISA are a wash, because, the Democrats are still supporting those laws. And, Bush supports your right to keep your money, your right to keep and bear arms, your right to your own private property, while the Democrats want to take your money, your guns, and your land. Yet, somehow, you feel like you have more civil rights. So, you want to beat people up for giving you more, and you claim that isn't violent? I think it is only logical that you would be shot in return. You are just like Chavez and Castro and all those other thugs that came before you. At the end of the day, you want all these powers for yourself, so you can enslave everyone else. Please, you go right ahead and try and punch a few people, but if you socialist bastards really ever do take control of this country, I promise I won't be coming back at you with just fists. I'd use nukes, if I could get them!

BETTER DEAD THAN SOCIALIST.
