I'm very uneasy about keeping these guys forever without charges. My take is they should be brought up on charges. Some should be executed, some should have lengthy jail time and the truly innocent should be sent free.

What scares me is Saddam, hitler stalin and other tinpot dictators did the same thing to their own people and we railed against it.
This is more big brother and will probbaly start the slippery slope of eroding of our rights as citizens. .
The founding fathers would be appaled.

Shoot them, jail them or set them free.

NOT while we are still at war!

We didn't let POWs go in the other wars while the wars were still being fought, I don't think!

That is quite a stretch, these are not our own people, they are enemy combatants.

These terrorists in Gitmo aren't "our own". They're folks who in any other war in the history of mankind would be summarily executed on the battlefield. It is only because we are a singularly humane people that they are alive at all. For God's sakes, the "detainees" eat better than do most Americans! (And their religious beliefs are respected, too, for that matter.)

It only bespeaks your ignorance of the true horrors of Hitler, Stalin, or Saddam that you can compare the luxury treatment of war criminals equal to summary executions and unanethestized surgical removal of eyeballs. If these terrorists were staying at the Four Seasons, all expenses paid, they could hardly have less to complain about.
