First off, Gitmo has allowed inspectors in to afford the prisoners the Geneva convention rights. Mistakes have been made and I think the culpability goes all the way up to Rumsfeld, who should have been fired long ago.

Having said that, I don't have to worry about my family getting put in places like Gitmo, because we don't own guns and would never be caught carrying one and firing one on U.S. soldiers.

Can't say the same for the vast majority of folks in Gitmo. You fire on U.S. soldiers during a war, then you can't expect to get away scott free. Sorry, tejek. You're barking up the wrong tree, if you are expecting sympathy out of my.

As far as the average age of Gitmo detainees, it is right in the range of the most probably for angry young Middle East men. There are always outliers included, which you managed to pick and claim that they are the majority, which is false. But there are young boys blowing themselves up all the time in the Middle East. To assume that they are innocent just because they are very young or very old is just naive.
