Ah, but here's the whole point, who decides who gets human rights and who doesn't? Is it a court of law?... well almost all of the Gitmo prisoners (including the ones who have been released) never got their day in court.... so, I guess it's down to the army commander in charge. So do you honestly believe that it's okay that army commanders can decide what prisoners of war get treated like slaves and which ones get to keep their human rights... is that the kind of military you want representing your country?

As for your comment about it being a mistake making Gitmo public knowledge... would you prefer a government where enemies of the government get "vanished"... spooky but that's been done lots of times before, and people don't really have a high respect for that type of government either.

It astounds me that one of our allies actually believes in torture and imprisonment without trial.... but what really disgusts me is the fact that a large portion of it's citizens seem to think that it is acceptable behaviour. They are no better than the terrorist scum they claim to be imprisoning...
