I don't care if we let them all go or not. I think we should leave it up to the people of New York City to decide if they should be freed or not. Like I give a f.uck if that place is turned into a sheet of glass.

From the last link posted:
The 17 men are Uighurs, an ethnic group from western China. They are accused of receiving weapons and military training in Afghanistan. Some of the detainees have been cleared for release since 2003, but the United States will not send them back to their homeland because of concern they would be tortured by Chinese authorities. of course WE should take them in right? Too bad for the Uighurs but I for one dont want them released in our country.

since bush called this a war on terror, he wanted to treat every terrorist as an enemy combatant-but not as a soldier captured in a battle. it's a fine line....terrorists are criminals-they don't fight for a country, we're not fighting a germany for instance. so, those who are investigated, and then found to have committed, or are planning to commit, a crime should be charged under law-whether it's a u.s. law if they're caught here (much like if someone was here from canada, mexico, etc-they still fall under our court system) or an international law, or the country in which they resides' law. that's what everyone needs to figure out. if we follow a money trail, we have to hope we can persuade whatever country that terrorist resides in to arrest him. if they're here, or attempt to come here, we arrest them here. as for holding someone for years without a trial, you can't do that. yes, they're bad guys in many cases. so try them, or charge them and have the hague try them. but you can't just lock them up, no charges, and throw away the key. even the nazi war criminals got trials-that's what they must do in this case. absolutely lock the bad guys up-but you probably have to prove they're bad guys.

A Centrist wants to promote what is best for society, tolerate what is good enough, and prevent what is harmful.
Conservatives want to promote what is best for society, and prevent everything else. Liberals want to promote all options (except the truly dangerous ones) as equally good. If your first reaction to this is, “Who is to say what is best?” you are a probably a liberal. If your first reaction to this is, “Why settle for mediocrity?” you are probably a conservative. If this bell-curve picture of the social options seems reasonable to you, and you have no principled objection to making discriminating judgments – welcome to the center. ... Beau Weston

The ironic part of this thread is what is contained in the original link. The thinking of the enemy yet there is such a rush to defend the "innocent" who may not even be innocent.
I have to admit that I don't lose a minute of sleep worrying about these people. I just wish that we had a facility closer to the arctic circle to store them in. As ice cubes. Thaw them out when we figure out what to do with them. or maybe we should just turn them loose in Cuba like Castro did to us. Kinda like a reverse Scarface.

The "world" is not looking out for AMERICA's best interests. As I said in a previous post, please send them to my house. I'm afraid the Govt. isn't looking out for America's best interest either.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...with the caveat that there be reasonable certainty that retribution is being served upon the deserving party as opposed to the truly innocent.... how many of the Gitmo detainees are truly innocent?... I have no idea
