The US government should either charge them with something and prosecute them ASAP, or let them go. The current system of detaining them indefinitely without charge does more harm to the USA than benefit, IMO

They aren't being detained as punishment. They are being detained to prevent them from continuing to wage war against us. They aren't entitled to being charged any more than a POW is entitled to being charged. And just like a POW, that is - a legal combatant, we can detain them as long as hostilities continue. Indefinitely.
