See, there's this stuff called 'evidence' of crime. You may have heard of it, and I'm certain that many years of incarceration would have been ample time for your awesome intelligence services to have gathered enough of it to convict these people. So we have two possibilities; either your intelligence services are inept, or those currently held are innocent.
If they're guilty, convict them. Why haven't they been tried or even charged with an offense? (Not a trick question)
If you've been locked-up for no reason at the Guantanamo Hilton for years, I guess revenge on the cretins who were dumb enough to think you were a threat, might be something you'd consider. Especially if you have been subject to the gentle art of US 'we don't torture,' 'enhanced' interrogation techniques. What would you do, shake Sgt. Rock's hand and say, 'thanks for a great vacation'?
Well, I guess they would have been convicted by now if they had been AQ operatives, no? Or are you of the opinion that brown Muslim=guilty by default?
What is unnacceptable is incarceration without trial, the total abrogation of habeas corpus, that most fundamental of human rights, and America acting precisely as it accuses its enemies of behaving.
Yea locked up for no reason. Being Bin Ladin's body guard, fighting our soldiers on the ground with terrorism, killing innocent people, yeah that is no reason.
Assuming what you say is correct,then why was the Obama regime scouring the country looking for someplace to have trials in? I remember when those morons were seriously considering having trials for them in Denver, and busing them back and forth from here to a maximum security prison a hundred miles south of here! It was either accident, or desperation, but one of the wisest decisions Obama has ever made was to just let these scumbags sit in Gitmo and rot. Ha! But NOW it appears that even this isolated accomplishment of King Hussein's reign will be negated if he turns all these rats loose. It's just one more reason we never should have put this inept, equivocating ding-a-ling in the White House, and, another reason why we should NOT make the mistake of a second term in office for him or anyone like him....
And this decision comes after finding out that the ring leader of the attack in Libya, was by a detainee that was released from gitmo. Obama is a moron.
They should be tried, and then executed by hanging, the death penalty of murderers and cowards. Obama is a fricking idiot and he thinks that releasing these animals will appease the radical ZIslamo's by demonstrating our just release of the least infamos that we are their friends. Islamo's do not care that we think we are their friends, they are our enemy and on occasion prove it by murdering people including ambasa dors
Thay are not on trial ,they are combatants captured on a battlefield, what they get are militaty tribuals like the Nazi's in Germany. This is NOT a civilian court and evidence does NOT have to meat the same standards. Plus, they are not Americans, and they DO NOT deserve or are entitled to constitutional protection.
Because some aer afraid of creating more radicals by trying them for the heinous murderous acts of war.
Ah! Hell, Michigan. Not a bad choice. Plenty of land. And I'm sure they'd be willing to take some federal money in exchange for housing the prison.
Bin Laden's driver, actually. Of 779 originally incarcerated with no charge, no trial and no access to legal representation, would you care to tell us how many have been charged with any offense, leave alone a terror-related one? Ok, I'll save you the trouble because you won't even bother. Fewer than 10. I'll repeat that; fewer than 10.
We should not poison our soil with the presence of these murderous losers. We already have too many Islamo's here. Islam and liberty and freedom do not mix.
Actually, Mr. American, your Constitution guarantees the same legal rights to anyone, foreign or domestic.
Hmm, yet again I'm having to explain US Law and the US Constitution to an American. You should be ashamed: https://www.law.upenn.edu/cf/faculty/krooseve/workingpapers/153UPaLRev2017(2005)..pdf http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0804-07.htm
I will bet you a bazillion dollars. How's that? You want some of that action? Shoot! it has already made the "mainstream press". You still want to bet?
According to your posts the US Constitution and the law do not mix. Your posts, as usual, are utterly clueless and hate-filled cliched rhetoric. You'll whine-on relentlessly about your Sacred Constitution when it comes to your rights, but when it comes to the rights of foreigners-who are offered those same rights that you enjoy-everything falls apart. Especially if they're Muslim. Nobody could accuse you of being a bigoted hypocrite, could they Tex? And you dare to call them losers? The irony is almost tangible.
If this were remotely true, Mr. Whatever you are, the famous Nuremberg trials would never have existed as we held military tribunals to prosecute Nazi war criminals. Were you, and the frothing left, alive at that time you would have demanded criminal trials in US courts, as you turds have done with terrorists, to exercise their "rights" guaranteed by the constitution. But guess what? They have no such rights under the constitution. Amusing that you pretend to lecture others. You know next to nothing.
