I agree with the senator that says 'some of them should be executed' - let's do it and do it now. examples need to be set.

Well, if we decide we can't hold them forever, and they need to be tried, it seems to me that the appropriate thing to do is to give them full due process rights and full-dress criminal trials under the law...of the place they committed their crimes. Which is to say, the republics of Afghanistan and of Iraq, both functioning democracies with legal systems, should be eventually given full custody of these prisoners along with their legal dossiers, to give them appropriate trials. That would, after all, be full due process as required under international law.

[Ron in Acreage]

We should hold them on a Navy ship about 500 miles from shore. We can't help it if they tried to escape by jumping overboard in the dark of night.

[ken21]

fine with me.

they probably eat better at gitmo than they do at home,

and they probably eat better than sheriff arpaio's inmates in phoenix.

[AgThorn]

This whole Guantanamo thing burns my buns a bit.

On the one side I agree with the left in that we need to do something ... but I do not agree with what nonsense they say, i.e. 'close the base', 'it's an embarassment', etc.

What moron wants to release these terrorists? Especially knowing what the results of the 'experiment' (I would think it should be called) of when the last '4' that were released, i.e. their showing up to fight our soldiers as soon as they could.

WHY don't we set up a tribunal and trial on each prisoner? It is idiotic to try to hold these creeps till the 'end of the war' or whatever, as there may never be an end of this war. Did we hold the spys we caught till the end of the 'cold war'? No, we tried, convicted and sentenced them. Why is this any different for this 'war on terror' that will probably last as long or longer as the cold war?

In fact, it will last longer precicely because we are NOT doing anything with the prisoners except giving them club med treatment. Who can say that the four that were released and were back fighting our soldiers didn't do it with the hope of getting a trip back to Guantanamo because of all the great accomodations!! ;-)

Enough!!! Set up the tribunal and start to convict, sentence and hopefully have some summary executions and make them public. This war on terror has to quit being so politically correct and start being serious!!! Off with their heads!!

[michigander]

Republican senators called on Wednesday for the rights of foreign terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay prison to be legally defined even as the Bush administration said the inmates could be jailed there "in perpetuity."

What counties do these "foreign terrorism suspects" originate from?

[thoughtomator]

Terrorist rights defined:

"None"


Next.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This is an excellent idea. Shoot the rest too.

"Guantanamo Bay is an international embarrassment to our nation, to our ideals, and it remains a festering threat to our security," Leahy said.

Substitute the following words "Guantanamo Bay", "it", and replace with "Leahy".

True-believing islamonazis don't fear death so much. They DO however, fear being incarcerated for the rest of their natural lives. In addition, they are more susceptible to interrogation when kept long enough. Gitmo is a smart move that proves the current Administration understands the mind of the enemy. The leftist politicians are once again proving themselves weak on defense and strong on criticizing America.

[Thud]

[Paleo Conservative]

I think they'd start smelling bad after 40-60 years.

[LibWhacker]

Ha!, Biden and Leahy think Gitmo is bad for terrorists. I'm actually looking forward to the day we can incarcerate in perpetuity traitors who happen to be serving in either house of congress, or who are working in the MSM. I'm sure the day is coming. We can't win the war until it does.

[joesnuffy]

Murderers traditionally in liberal states get life in prison in many states the prisons are a hell of a lot tougher than Gitmo...and not on a tropical beach.

Last I heard all these Moozelum terrorists were going to commit Holy Suicide?

Guess they really must be enjoying their stay among the infidels ..but then who wants to go back to snowy winters in A-Stan when you can winter in Gitmo and eyeball the pretty infidel female attendants

[SandRat]

Maybe they should ask the former residents of the "Hanoi Hilton" about legal rights of detainees. Only they weren't detainees they were legitimate POWs under the GHC and they WERE tortured methodically.

Any Freeper Veteran here can tell the Sens that what we went through at the Draft induction center and in basic training was far-far worse than what the "detainees" at Club Cuba's Gourmand Gitmo Cafe are undergoing.

[TheDon]

Agreed.

[glock rocks]

Bush administration said the inmates could be jailed there "in perpetuity."

Inmates. Inmates? How about caged murderous beasts. Oh, btw, the Geneva Accords don't apply either.

[John Valentine]

If we had dealt with these folks the old fashioned way - on the field of battle - there wouldn't be a need for Gitmo in the first place.

But accepting the need for a facility for extracting intelligence from captures combatants who are not covered byt the Geneva COnventions, I'd suggest a top secret facility at an extremely remote location with virtually NO chance of accidental discovery, and there individuals could be treated with all the civility they deserve for as long or short a time as may be required.

Are you watching Hardball??

[Southack]

"Critics have decried the indefinite detention of Guantanamo prisoners, whom the United States has denied rights accorded under the Geneva Conventions to prisoners of war."

If they aren't captured wearing recognized military uniforms, fighting for a recognized beligerent nation, then the Geneva Convention gives them *no* rights. Ever.

They can be shot on sight as spies or sabotuers, legally. Anything less is American charity.
