Ok, now you are stepping over the line. I'll be nice since I know you aren't from here, and if you're like most Germans my brother met on his trip over in '03, you're getting your news from a flawed source(s). The Americans who are serving at Gitmo have behaved honorably. In MY opinion, the majority of terrorists being held there, once they have outlived their intel usefulness, should be executed. Instead they are well-fed and housed and given medical attention.
It's a hell of a lot easier to sit over there across the pond and criticize how someone else does the work than to actually get off your butts and do it yourself isn't it??
The problem with Gitmo is the lack of transparency and the lack of judicial control, not the treatment of the prisoners. And I was for the war against mass-slaughterer Saddam Hussein, unlike 80% of my fellow-citizens.
it's always been easier... indeed. Just holding people in a fenced area without a proper court decision calling them terrrorist because they are on 'a list'.
I admire those who stand before the lynch mobs and defend the american system of justice - noone is guilty unless sentenced in front of a proper court. It's a sweat job to enforce nowadays but someone's got to do it.
if there's a line between justice and the mob - i'd like to step over it, too !
