Is that the reason why you don´t try your inmates? I´m still looking for the reason. Your administration fears that the judges could ignore the law or that the could be insufficient? That´s not an excuse, you better find a solution for this problem.
They're not "inmates". They're non - uniformed combatants, i.e guerillas. Under the Geneva Convention, they can be shot out of hand [A mistake we made in Viet Nam when we didn't shoot the VC we took]. I realize with Europe's rather bloody history, you try to look at things differently, but war isn't burglary, and these clowns aren't criminals who violated a penal code. Nor are they uniformed soldiers of a nation state. They're Al Queda thugs, and they're at Gitmo for two reasons: to keep them from being someplace else [and several we released have gone back in the "bag" again], and to squeeze intelligence out of them. They're not there serving time for a "crime".
As for the problem, if you don't come to the dance, don't complain about the music. While I appreciate Germany's contributions in Afghanistan, the truth is that militarily, you can no longer keep up with us on a battlefield [too much money on socialist welfare programs, too little on your military], so, as I said to a friend from England, Rome doesn't ask Gaul for permission to wage war on Parthia [or how to do it]. As for problems, if I were you guys, I'd worry about your birthrate going down the toilet, your burgeoning [and reproducing] Islamiat influx, and your buddy to the East, Putin. I don't think Germany and most of Old Europe should necessarily count on us to bail them out again if something goes wrong [although we probably will.
OUR porblem is winning the war on terror. Since we're doing it without you folks, butt out.
