Special Forces Alpha Geek said...: Havent many of them been released without charge?

During WW2 we held hundreds of thousands of enemy combatants for years before releasing them without charge. Does that mean holding them was a mistake? Or is it that you've confused a criminal proceeding with a war?

The reason for holding these people is that we are still at war. Releasing suspected enemy troops during a war is idiotic. They end up rejoining the fight against you.

Agreed. I've actually had the great privilege of being shot at by one of the Gitmo detainees who was "released without charge", so forgive me if I'm not enthusiastic about letting the rest of them go, some, at least according to some comments coming out of DoJ, in the US.; 3/31/09, 3:43 PM
