You don't know "They would probably never have threatened the United States." Afghanistan was the training ground for Al Qaeda. All the key 911 hijackers went there for training.

Recall also that OBL had issued a fatwa calling on all Muslims to kill Americans anywhere and everywhere. That means you and your family. I'm surprised that doesn't mean anything to you.

"I'm sure we picked up every Arab fighting with the Taliban and labeled them "terrorists". " I certainly hope so. Al Qaeda did bring in Arabs from all over to fight for the Taliban. And Al Qaeda is a terror group whose members were under orders to kill Americans including you and your family if they can.

"The hundreds of people released weren't AQ terrorists, or we wouldn't have released them." Maybe not. Some were picked up for being in the company of terrorists fleeing action. Some of the released detainees returned to fighting for Al Qaeda so some were released in error.

"The "protestors" were the plaintiffs for the detainees" - plaintiffs? Hope you know what you're trying to say.
