What is Ron Paul’s position on the Patriot Act? And what is his position on holding Al Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo?

I know he is against the Patriot act.
If he supports the Geneva conventions, then that means immediate execution of all who are held at gitmo.

Muckraker Report: Where do you stand on Guantanamo?

Congressman Ron Paul: Shut it down. The current rationale at Guantanamo is based on the false premise that detainees are not entitled to due process protections. I support court decisions recognizing fundamental human rights, such as habeas corpus. Again, this is an issue that flies in the face of our civic and legal traditions as outlined in the Constitution. As such, I see no purpose for continuing the facility.
