I wonder why...

Posted by znufrii Dec 8 '10, 10:09

maybe locking them up for years without any semblance of due process might have had something to do with it?

(Or there's the outside chance that they were actually bad guys who deserved to be locked up...) -- nm - Ender Dec 8, 10:29 8
- All I know is that if I were captured by an invading/occupying foreign military, locked up for years without charges apart from my family - znufrii Dec 8, 10:36 1

- Pffft. That sounds like baseless speculation. I'm sure they were wonderful people until *we* twisted them into monsters. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 8, 10:31

  - as is treating the rule of law like a pesky nuisance, apparently. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 10:40 3
    - Considering they're not still locked up they obviously had access to some process to gain their freedom. -- nm - Ender Dec 8, 10:44 2

      - after languising for how many years without? -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 10:48
