I believe if they are being detained, it is for a reason And the couple of people they let off Guantanamo after a year were there for what exactly? Was it or was it not a mistake to hold them there for a full year? Could that perhaps mean that there are others like them who have nothing to do with AL-Qaeda? Do you think perhaps the fact that American Army offered a reward for the Taliban the Afghans rounded up could have led to more than a few innocents to be presented as Taliban? Should you not, as a member of the American society that prides itself on justice and freedom, be on the side of people who are being held (apparently indefinitely) with no access to lawyers and no respect for the Geneva Convention that concerns such situations? If they are found to be guilty of having anything to do with 9-ll or other treasonous actions against the US....they could be put on an island in the South Pacific all by themselves, and could live on coconuts and shark meat... Very creative. I guess they are already "found guilty" by some invisible court...
