How true. Gitmo is not a criminal facility, but essentially a POW camp, except that the detainees are illegal combatants, and thus have fewer rights than true POWs.

Of course, we could simply open the fence and release these monsters. Let Fidel have them.

Of course, BF and Ken are wrong.

To date, the US has identified only about 12 prisoners at Gitmo as being suspected of terrorist or combatant activities.

Out of some nearly 900 people who have been held there.

Gitmo has held children as young as 14 and men as old as 95. Yeah, these folks present a real threat to us.

There's a reason why this gulag is in Gitmo--because they can torture there.

Complete nonsense, JadeGold.

The Combat Status Review Tribunals as of March, 2005 found that all but 38 detainees were 'enemy combatants'.

These tribunals were stuck down by the Hamdi case, and Congress acted in the Detainee Treatment Act to create tribunals which pass constitutional muster, and so the CSRT have started anew.

Not to mention the idea that a 14 year old cannot be a suicide bomber, for example, is ludicrous. There have been Palestinian suicide bombers as young as 12, for example.

Everyone in Gitmo has been suspected of terrorism or fighting for the Taliban.

Sorry JadeGold, this isn't your Planet Moonbat where Young Master Bush just rounds up random innocent Muslims and imprisons them because it's just a lot of fun, and he has nothing better to do.

"because they can torture there"

supposition based on what you believe the Bush administration is capable of, which is ultimately a self-reinforcing argument. People believe many evil about Bush, which are supported by other evils that they believe about him, which are supported by more suppositions. Ultimately, one of the turtles have to be standing on something; it can't be turtles all the way down.

That said, there are credible reports that the original guards of the detainees did mistreat them. Torture, however, is a convenient word. Any detention is unpleasant. Not all mistreatment is torture.

"the possibility that journalists wilfully disseminate deliberate untruths"

And this feeds the BDS which keeps chasing its own tail and has to rely on continually re-enforcing misconception by feeding to itself more misconception.

KMc,
You continue to put up good stuff.
I read all your posts, may not comment to all. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Eneils, comments like that make it all worthwhile.
