They have repeatedly told anyone within earshod at Gitmo that they will kill Americans and are simply waiting for the chance. They have also made more than a couple attempts against the lives of the Soldiers who are guarding them. When they were captured, they were attempting to kill Americans.

The problem with your argument is the use of "they." Surely almost all of these people are very very dangerous ones, but some of them may not be. Some may have spared their lives by giving up intell. To say lets just wipe 'um all out and be done with it imho is an overreach.

If they weren't dangerous, they wouldn't have been trying to kill Americans in the first place.

Their subsequent behavior at Gitmo has proven they are indeed dangerous.

Additionally, they are not giving up information to the Americans under threat of their lives. The Americans down there are not threatening their lives; rather, they are giving the terrorists/prisioners food and medical treatment, at American Taxpayer expense, that they have probably never received in their lives.

Sorry fella, but your heartfelt defense of the murdering bastard terrorists at Gitmo falls on deaf ears with me, and I suspect most people on FR.

I hereby nominate you to go down to Gitmo and find those illegal combatants who are not "dangerous". Good luck!
