My god CB... I'm not suggesting we mistreat these thugs (and they are thugs, imo)..

And there is NO EVIDENCE that they are being mistreated. Given the heinous nature of the crimes they and their associates committed against not only the US, but the Afghani people, they are definitely getting better than they deserve. And like serial murderers who stalk and kill innocent women receiving life imprisonment rather than death, they have no right to complain when they failed to grant that same right to the victims of their crimes.

All that I'm saying is that giving them their freedom would present a clear and present danger to EVERY nation. Without some evidence that they have renounced their terrorist views and the use of violence to pursue their political or religious goals, I'm all for keeping them locked up for life.

Their psychology, particularly their ruthless disregard for non-combatants and stated desire to target and kill all Americans, rank them right up their with serial killers. They are predators, and we are the prey. They will kill us if we give them the opportunity.

Ignoring that reality is not going to make it go away.
