When is the next Hajj? Will you be going?

To find a rough parallel to what we are doing today, it is far more instructive to look at what we did ourselves to the Japanes in WWII. And in this case, we are only detaining combatants, where as in WWII we interred the entire population of Japanese-Americans.

You pretty much have to be a hard core Islamakazi idiot to wind up at Gitmo. I am not going to lose a lot of sleep if these guys are held under humane conditions for a few years while we work out this whole struggle-for-global-domination thing. Given my druthers, though, I would prefer that their treatment be humane. We are good enough to do that.

And very close to core of Al-Qaeda. If we shipped GTMO every single POW caught in Iraq, we would have long ago run out of room.

"...where as in WWII we interred the entire population of Japanese-Americans."

Actually the US Gov't didn't inter the entire Japanese-American population, only CA, WA and Oregon and the Territory of Alaska. The J-A's in these states were farmers and held valuable property (which they lost) while in HA, they were mostly serfs on plantations, thus no profit in putting them into camps.
It was common to have a brother working in a defense plant while you were sitting in a *Relocation Center* Notice these states, with the exception of Alaska, are solid leftist. Again, when dealing with Democrats: Follow The Money.
