Protecting your Legal Self

Has he located all the tracking implants yet??

Maybe I'm just cranky, maybe I'm just sick of conspiracy theorists or maybe I am going to enforce the guidelines here.

Matthew,

Provide proof for your claims or STFU.

Do neither and you'll be introduced to the Warning System.

How's that for torture?

I think you're cranky. I was relating an interview with an International Law expert I heard on the CBC a month or so, specifically on the topic of the implications of handing over a prisoner to another force.  I am making no claims in this thread.

I have some significant claims to make in regards to illegal interrogations, but my postings, and the responses were deleted 30 minutes after posting them earlier today.  I was told in a private message by a moderator that they knew I was a CBC employee, which is bullcrap. 

If you want me to make some claims, I will, but only if you promise not to delete the entire message and thread.
Peace,
Matthew

a_majoor,

I think the part he was referring to was before their status under the convention was determined by a competent tribunal, and thus they need to be afforded the protection of it until such time. After that though, you are exactly right.

Mathew:

Canadian soldiers are not handing the prisoners over to the afghan forces and then hehehehe plugging their ears when the shots ring out from behind the hill.

Remember, two elements of a crime.

EVEN IF, these prisoners were being tortured, if the officer handing them over had reasonable grounds to assume they would be treated properly, ie an international agreement between two governments that goes WAY above his paygrade to question, then he cannot be accused of having a guilty mind, even in terms of negligence.

The "reasonable man" test also applies. What would a "reasonable man" do if his government has a signed agreement with the other government, he is being ordered to carry out the transfer and has been reassured they will be treated properly by said agreement, and has no reasonable grounds to suspect anything otherwise?

actually, what you can do is go over the many, many, many threads on this subject, and if you have something fresh to add, go ahead.

Have fun.

This is nooooooow locked.

Well Tess, the entire thread was deleted by the moderator. So there is not point in my posting it again now is there?

Well since this thread is going the way of the do do birds, why not give me one more chuckle before bed time...
