You analogy is fallacious. Dachau contained people who were imprisoned only because of the racial paranoia of the Nazis.

There's simply no point in imprisoning non-terrorists. Those guys are very bad guys, in case you have forgotten.

Call it whatever you want, the terrorists at Guantanamo are there for a valid reason and will eventually receive justice. If that means some of them get out, they get out. The rest? Now just why was it you care?

People who might be Islamic Jihad threats are imprisoned because if they are released, they might act against the USA. That's just what was done in Dachau and under much more trying circumstances for Germany,

<<Ish, how do you know they are terrorists if there hasn't been a trial?>>

If it walks and quacks like a duck, it isn't a cow. These people were caught in battle.
