One thing that Graham said was that the Congress needs get more involved, in that THEY need to decide what will be considered humane treatment, what type of hearing/trial they will get, etc...

I just don't see how it should be done in any other way than a military tribunal system...we can't try them like American citizens in OUR courts...

We should try them, like they tried detainees from WW11--Nurmenberg Trials, was it?

BUT, anyone that cares about Americans, not America's reputation, first wouldn't want them let out while we are still at war in their countries...

I agree....if they are a threat, they shouldn't be let out. My only concern isn't about their treatment, per se. I am just uncomfortable with the concept of no appeal for review ever. Even the most virtuous government or person, with the best of intentions makes mistakes. I'm just not sure of the best mechanism to ensure a fair, unbiased review (free from a CYA mentality if a mistake had been made) that would also maintain the required military and intelligence secrecy.
