So now you say that people holding a gun and firing on our soldiers* are innocent? You read one article and think that this applies to "most" of Gitmo detainees?* Mindlmeld, I would imagine people holding a gun and firing on our soldiers are dead. We still have no idea how it was determined who goes to Gitmo, who goes to their home country and who gets released. Imagine during the invasion of Afghanistan the Northern Alliance comes on a "pocket of resistance". At first the Northern Alliance has no idea who is firing at them. There is a brief firefight, and 5-10 resistors get killed. Five or ten more resistors yell at each other and put up white flags indicating surrender as they realize they are outmatched. When the Northern Alliance is confident they are not going to get fired on again by this group, they move in and 400 people, aged 12 to 80, 80% of them men, 20% of them women, 90% Afghanis, 10% non-Afghanis, get "captured". Who goes to Gitmo?

So now you say that people holding a gun and firing on our soldiers are innocent? You read one article and think that this applies to "most" of Gitmo detainees? You honestly think I've read only one article? If so, you don't know me very well. The only way you can fully understand what's happening at Gitmo is to read multiple articles, mainly from press outside of the US. Who's the starry eye'd naive one now? Again, you don't know me very well. And naiveté is believing that once Bush is gone, things will get better. This country is in big trouble, and not because of the Muslims. Americans are going to have to wake up to that notion or things will get much worse.
