Enemy combatant is one of my favorite Orwellian wordings to violate the Geneva Conventions. It is up there in Orwellian language like the Excelesque Disposition Matrix murder killings that only Nobel Peace Prize recipient Obama could get away with.

Or the Clintonesque term for international kidnappings, torture and murder ring:

My favorite Guantamao Bay concentration camp story is that one of the translators (aka torturer in combat fatigues) there of Uyghurs, Rushan Abbas, is now running a CIA funded Uyghur liberation movement.

- bellyfullofbac 5y agoI'd like to agree with you, but you make it sound like only Obama and Clinton were the crooked presidents in the last 30 years. To get back to the topic, Guantanamo was the invention of the G. W. Bush admin.
- 1cvmask 5y agoOh I agree with you. The article was about enemy combatants which was W Bush "innovation."
