    Default guantanamo prison

    "Most of the detainees still at Guantanamo are not scheduled for trial. As of November 2006, according to MSNBC.com, out of 775 detainees who have been brought to Guantanamo, approximately 340 have been released, leaving 435 detainees. Of those 435, 110 have been labeled as ready for release. Of the other 325, only "more than 70" will face trial, the Pentagon says. That leaves about 250 who may be held indefinitely"

    so their holding 250 people with no intention of ever letting them go? and without a trial or charges?

    Just like dinner is served at a certain time, or the sun rises at a certain time, so comes the Gitmo thread, on cue.

    Tell us Speed why 340 were released?? Were they innocent?? When was the trial??

    And do you think they will go home and return to their normal lives??

    I'd really love to know how many will think of their time at Gitmo as a catalyst to their renewed fight.

    compassion for the enemy is stupid. He who tries to moderate war has already conceded the fight.

    Im assuming upon release they will want to return to where they came and raise arms again.

    But Object X, how do you know these men took up arms in the first place?? They were never charged, and now they are being released. Why would that happen???

    guess you got a good point there.but not all of them are innocent bystanders who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    I know that. I'm just not to thrilled about locking up the innocent just to make sure you got the guilty.

    And like I said, there's probably 450 (maybe 700) guys who have a reason, good or not, to go war. Along with their families.

    I have the solution to all this. Nuke the US. We'll be happier without the guy on speed anyways. We'll just sell our tainted meat to the Iraqi's. They're all starving anyways.

    Don't worry about that. We're likely paying a lawyer 49 million in a few weeks for falsely imprisoning the court system.

    "Normal lives"

    for example, plotting to kill innocent civilians, planning to plant IED's along the roadways when funeral processions are going by, blowing up western tourists whose biggest fault was that they hanppened to stop by the cafe for a coffee.

    The same reason people are released from your penal system at times.

    How about the thousands that haven't been released? Sounds like the system is working.

    Nothing is perfect. Only where the US is concerned do you hold their actions and institutions to perfection. No one else, country or person, is held to those same standards. That is because your blind anti-Americanism clouds your every thought.

    Actually, I think it's because the US holds all these countries to their own self absorbed standards while blatantly acting like a higher power. Then, guys like you whine when the rest of us take you to task for the hypocrisy you represent by attacking us for bringing it up. Must be nice to drink from both sides while polluting it for the rest of us.

    Maybe you could find some who never even had a trial???

    Sounds like part of the usual "Kill 'em all and let god sort them out" philosophy.

    Proof buddy proof. What you howl about all the time.

    Obviously there isn't any, because a bunch of them are being sent home, and if they weren't terrorists before, they sure as hell are now!!!
