    The point is why is this a chance for Romney in particular to alienate Ron Paul supporters especially?

    Yes...but so would any sensible person. You are the ones backing president Sugar Daddy. Not me and not Romney.

    he didnt put them in detention, the only responsible thing is conduct due diligence....

    we already know the competence of those who created this prison camp....how long does sorting out the errors take?

    They should be tried in a US Court of Law and if convicted of high crimes against the American people shot, fed to polar bears, or forced to live with the Kardassians and... then fed to bears.

    But...the American people deserve the trial, and so do these heinous muther(*)(*)(*)(*)ers.

    There is enough blame to go around in my book.

    But I'm not particularly willing--and you are right in this--to vote for someone who wants to double the size of Gitmo and believes that spying on US citizens is a good thing.

    It really doesn't leave us with a lot of choices. It's Gary Johnson or stay home thanks to the RNC.

    So the left wants to release them, so they can go and attack more of our US embassy's overseas. Great idea.

    Wow. I went to the list at your "article", and nowhere does it say any are being released.

    Now if you actually search out news sources, they are being transferred and will still be detained. None are being released.

    The government’s move has no immediate, practical effect on the inmates’ detention. Inclusion on the list does not mean that the U.S. has absolved them of any wrongdoing or that it believes they pose no threat, and there was no indication of when any might be sent elsewhere.

    You did hear about a regular old cab driver who was there for four years before they released him after realizing that he was just a boring old cab driver, right?

    What has happened to America since 9-11 that we have thrown away every single value imparted to us by our Founders? They deserved a trial. Without a trial we are no better than the Soviets and Nazis.

    I used to agree with you. Now the only trial I'm interested in seeing is that of Barack Hussein Obama for war crimes at the Hague in the Netherlands. Let him stand trial, be convicted, and spend the rest of his life in a Dutch prison.

    Without following due process you HAVE to release them. Even if they were all as guilty as hell - because the Bush administration followed neither due process of law or the procedures set out under the Geneva Convention it is not only left you with a stinking mess but has ensured that even the most guilty would have to be set free

    CRAP! There was an Aussie incarcerated there who was not even captured within 100 miles of a battlefield and they had not one shred of evidence against him - how many more were like that?

    Al Qaeda fighters have placed themselves outside the protection of the Geneva Convention by following none of the protocols and policies set in place by the convention. They have made themselves true outlaws.

    Since hoardes of ACLU lawyers have gained access to Gitmo I'd guess not many, if that.

    So because OTHERS are "Outlaws" and "terrorists", that makes it OK for the USA to become an Outlaw and a terrorist?

    They are not "OTHERS", they Islamonazi murderers. That specifically and pointedly identifies them as enemies. Obama is an America hating loser, that is simply and clearly who he is.

    Sounds like YOU hate America judging from all of your posts.

    And for the record America hates your fringe kind. YOUR kind is the problem in America. But as the trend is showing America is moving to the left at the speed of light. Soon Right wing extremism will be scary stories we tell children to keep them inline.

    And I'm sure they've been rehabilitated. They're going to be so grateful to Barack Obama, they're going to march the streets of Muslim countries preaching peace.

    Tranlation: Look people, we all know this is unacceptable. As I have no defense of my messiah to offer, how about I simply avoid the topic and attack others?
