"My perception of Amnesty International's request was not that the prisoners at Guantanamo be treated as common criminals, per se, but that unless there is actual evidence of wrong-doing then let them go."

CB-

Most if not all of prisoners were taken into custody on the battlefield AKA a war zone. Maybe you should team up with Ramsey Clark (one of Saddam's legal beagles) to defend these most despicable humans. Like our own justice system
sometimes an innocent is falsely accused. In a time of WAR I am not going to get unduly stressed out by that possibility.

What is the difference between "actual evidence" and just plain evidence??

If the sole reason for holding them is that they sympathize with Al Qaeda, then how does that differ from imprisonment for political ideology?


They are not there for "sympathies", but for activities.

Amnesty doesn't think that the military tribunal they have had constitutes due process; they want them charged, which can only mean as criminals.
