Even a single innocent person swept up and held at Gitmo or elsewhere for no good reason would be a very bad thing. Any serious mistake by US forces in our allies in this regard is bad, and we should try to avoid and rectify such mistakes. But requiring full trials for captured enemy means one of two things, either you are going to not capture many enemy (you just kill them instead), or you are trying to fight a battle with both arms and both legs tied behind your back. You simply can't fight a war if your going to require full trials for captured enemy.

Then you tell me what's the reasonable thing to do since this 'war' could go on in perpetuity. Do you expect these people are to spend the rest of their lives in G?
