Comment on Rachmawi and Mellisa's presentation

I though the presentation by Rachmawi and Mellisa about torture is the best presentation so far. I really like the way they present their presentation, especially to the fact that they have chosen a really good video clip of Guantanamo Bay to support their presentation. The video clip brings the audience the feeling in a great scale of being in the Guantanamo Bay.


This four minutes video clip shows the audience how human rights are being violated and how cruel guardians treat prisoners of Guantanamo Bay. Rachmawi also states that, “They [prisoners] are allowed to pray; however, the guardians keep kicking them from behind in order to distract their concentration” (Rachmawi). I believe that when it comes to praying to God, the soldiers have no right to distract them because it is a human rights one posses that were given by God, as the creator. They also have done a magnificent job connecting to the book Persepolis by giving specific examples from the book about Marjane Satrapi's experience. Upon finishing their presentation, Rachmawi and Mellisa did a really good job by linking this issue to our present government which lead by Barack Obama. Our president, Barack Obama will close Guantanamo Bay as soon as he takes the office. I believe that Barack Obama has made a wise decision regarding this issue; I think he is going to bring this nation to a better future, for he does aware of the rights that were given by God to human being.

I'm a Marine. check out icasualties.org. Look at my brothers and sisters deaths, dates, and where they were killed.What more do you want? To properly complete his war on terror we need to follow laws that allow us to give them a proper and just trial for the crimes they commit. We fight for your freedom.. your childrens freedom.. what is wrong with you. We do this so you can live the lives you do. Pay attention.. only God judges us in the end.

I say kill them all and get rid of the Terrorsit. Especially the ones who are viscious. Yes, it sounds in-human, but think if your family was killed by one of these people with false beliefs of a religion threat. No where in religion, does it say kill innocent people. It merely states:
"those without sin, cast the first stone"
Are we too wait till they die after killing innocent people. No, GET rid of them. Kill the CANCER and save money by closing the prison. And people talk about Republicans and Democrates, it doesn't matter what side of political views you are on, just think if it was your family member that was killed by some big bearded person or someone who has FALSE views of their religion to commit a viscious crime to prove a point. If you don't like what the Military is doing for us, then shut your mouths and move out of the UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!!
