These guys got beat, none of them were directly involved in the WTC tragedy, why keep them in jail??

Those southern officers ALSO has to swear and oath of loyalty to the union..

Get these Al-Qaida and Taleban prisoners to swear upon the Koran that they will never again take up arms for the purpose of "waging Jihad", and I might consider releasing them.

But remember that many of these militant interpret their religion as making perfectly fine to lie their faces off to "infidels" so long as it's in the name of Allah. (and I know a few so-called "christians" who would feel it perfectly permissible to lie to any muslim captors they might fall prey to).

I really don't credit many of these militants as possessing sufficient "honor" to adher to an oath of pacifism.

Because they won't stop fighting.

They weren't fighting for a cause or a side that has surrendered and ceased hostilities.

Why we should have to beat them repeatedly, and then, presumably, release them each time?

What are you thinking?

Does Britain simply release those convicted of attempted murder once they're convicted, out of magniminity?

This is not how Southerners were treated at the end of the USA Civil War.

No, nor were the Brits treated like that at the end of the American Revolution or the War of 1812.

Why not? Because the combatants were brothers.
