That's one way to spin it.

I think we should give them all guns and biological weapons and passports to the United States, specifically Oregon. After all that shouldn't be a problem since they are just misunderstood people who have done no wrong

Like most issues, the biggest problem the government has with Gitmo is that the press keeps showing up to pain the U.S. as the Great Satan and the terrorists inside as the poor little victims. And thn, of course, we get the average citizen here in the U.S. who feels it's his/her duty to spread the propaganda.

We must remeber that the people detained at Guantanamo, were really altar boys in a previous life. They are really just illegaly held by the country that they want to destroy.

No one knows their innocence or evilness....that is what the issue is. They need a hearing and if they need be incarcerated for life then we will know and if just an 11 year old waling home from school when rounded up then we need to determine that.I want truth and the right action not bumper sticker smart alec response to something as important as this. It reflects on America,our military,our credibility when we attack other countries human rights. If they are criminals so be it and if they are civilians caught in the cross fire we need to attempt to sort it out.

You are trying to give these combants the rights of Americans. They are not covered under any conventions that govern warfare.

I want truth. I think if there are enemies of the US they need a trial and the punishment decided. If there are young people there simply rounded up because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time they deserve a hearing.That is what people want. Are you so cold and souless you do not believe it should be determined who is innocent and who is guilty?

Sam, you and I don't know any of the particulars of these detainees. But I am very cold and calulating when it comes to keeping this country safe and I am not concerned with their rights as long as the war against Islamic terrorism is going on.

yes rob so am I however I think it makes us less safe to detain people we have randomly found without any evidence. I think if they are threats it will be clear and then we can be cold and calculating on their incarceration. I think the isue of Guatanamo is people are held forver and never told of any charges or reasons. Read the profile of those held. If alf were innocents beng held for years would that make yu safer?
