What if gitmo held non-muslim suspects?

Were they found on the field of Afghanistan shooting at Americans, but not wearing any kind of uniform?

Then, sure. Why not?

Would never support illegal detention of people ever. At the very least they deserve to face their accusers. Doing it this way makes the US look like terrorists too. no wonder the rest of the world hates us!

It is about time we practise what we preach!

I am a conservative American who believes that my president has gone awry.

Everyone in Gitmo MUST be afforded some kind of due process. We must charge them or release them. Those are rights granted by our government to US Citizens, but I believe those rights are among those "inalienable rights" that our Declaration of Independence says we are endowed with by our Creator.

I think that if there is credible evidence that they might be participating in a terrorist plot, then we need to produce that evidence. I can see, in the short term, where it might be necessary to detain people, but it's been years now. There ought to be a limitation on how long one can be held before charges are filed.

Your asking me to think outside the box. That would make the administration look like fascists with their no-fly lists, secret prisons, denial of habeas and constant power grabs, kidnapping and torture. ... Wait a minute, they do look like fascists.

It is a distinct possibility, all Amercans can be put in prison through the Millitary act of 2006+ and held without due process. This is one of the reasons why this president is not only the dumbest but also the most dangerous in U.S. history.

Of course not.

Maybe we should have bombed his hometown after The Oklahoma city bombing.

Um, what do you mean "what if"... I am sure they already have some poor people locked up on trumped up charges that will be released after 5 years without a trial.

What if it held Bugs Bunny and Tony Soprano and the Lucky Charms Leprechaun? Oh, my!

Would you support that?

I'm trying to figure out what your "what if" scenario has to do with reality, and why I should find it worthy of an answer.

no.

it's unamerican.

if there are some people who wish to do experiments in how to run a govt or how that may pertain to criminals or terrorists, they are free to do so - but NOT IN AMERICA!

Yes,a terrorist is a terrorist.

some_guy_times_50

No, because it would violate the most fundamental rights of the people.

You obviously lack the understand of the legal process.

There is a difference how prisoners are treated if taken from the battlefield and taken by the police.

No doubt you're a product of our gvmt education system.
