I don't believe our invading military at the time had the ability to determine which people in the country at that time were transnational terrorists, and which were something else. Do you? Of course I do! Didn't you read what Nadine and I have posted to you? WE CAPTURED AND INTERROGATED THE ONES WE SENT TO GITMO!!!! That's how we know what they are. You seem to expect them to be "read their rights" and brought into an American Court for a "fair trial." Then given a sentence if found guilty. THEY ARE NOT CRIMINALS!!! You refuse to recognize this.

You haven't gone over the reasons for believing that all the Gitmo detainees were transnational terrorists. I believe the detainees should be released when there is no further value to our national security in keeping them. This country is paying a price for keeping them, yet we persist. If there was no benefit to be derived from keeping them they would have been released some time ago. My point: Things you don't know about those detainees justify their retention. People like you spend a great deal of effort to stir the pot and weaken national resolve to keep them, yet the people who know the facts want to keep them. They don't have rights.
