And yet you showed up and then contributed less than Kevin E-rock...hmmmm interesting.
Bone, you and I are close to agreeing here. It is wrong to hold people, many on flimsy if any evidence, indefinitely. It goes against what our country stands for and what makes us strong. Give them a trial or set them free. The difference is that most of these are POWs, battlefield warriors who were captured. Imagine if in WW2, the US had tried all of the captured German troops. What would the charge have been anyway? How would you provide evidence? It can't be processed that way. However, it should have been processed via tribunal by now, and the real badasses locked up or hung and the rest let go. In a sense, that has been occurring at a glacial pace.
I think the difference is German troops had German uniforms on and all spoke German and were caught firing guns at US troops.
A lot of these suspects were hunted down by bounty hunters or tribal leaders and sold to US forces. Solely on suspicion.
