These people are getting three squares a day, a free Qur’an and prayer rug and an arrow pointing them toward Mekkah - which, quite frankly, is far more than any of them deserve.
Every single detainee currently being held at Guantanamo Bay has received a hearing before a military tribunal. Every one. As a result of those hearings, more than three dozen Gitmo detainees have been released. The hearings, called "Combatant Status Review Tribunals," are held before a board of officers, and permit the detainees to contest the facts on which their classification as "enemy combatants" is based.

Gitmo-bashers attack the Bush administration's alleged failure to abide by the Geneva Conventions. But as legal analysts Lee Casey and Darin Bartram noted, "the status hearings are, in fact, fully comparable to the 'Article V' hearings required by the Geneva Conventions, in situations where those treaties apply, and are also fully consistent with the Supreme Court's 2004 decision in the Hamdi v. Rumsfeld case." That ruling addressed the detention of a U.S. citizen as an enemy combatant. As former Attorney General William Barr noted in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, "Obviously, if these procedures are sufficient for American citizens, they are more than enough for foreign detainees."

Because the poor terrorists that want to kill and destroy America has feelings too. That is according to the left.

in the journey that they are "troublesome middle followers" I doubt bail will be set. There are threat free those who've lived for a million/2 a decade in Gitmo without the great thing about an legal professional or trials. supply those detainees an ordeal and in the journey that they are threat free enable them bypass. in the journey that they are got here upon responsible supply them the most suitable sentence they could receive lower than our regulation.

If we would have taken the "high road" from day one, like the world is used to seeing from the U.S., there wouldn't be any questions about closing it down.

Because it serves no other purpose but to incarcerate political prisoners. No one trully knows what goes on in Guantanamo Bay and it would not have come to light if it wasn't for some dumbazz marines who took pictures and start sending them out like postcards.

Why on earth did anyone want to close down the Soviet Gulag? Same reasoning. After all, those people were fed and clothed, and they too got their cases reviewed by the KGB.
