My proposal:
General population among the 50 states major prisons.

Let them get equal justice.

If they die in general population, justice has been served by those who are committed, even if it is by those who are imprisoned, it would still be by Americans.

They hate us, we can”t pander to their values, we must remain strong to ours.

If we are to give them habeus, they should get what the African American gets in Compton, a chance to live out their life inb prison. If not Guantonamo, who cares.

Sue, Thank you not only for the comments but for standing up myself and many Gold Star Moms. I do know that at least one of those there at GITMO was captured a few days after Jason was killed from a home were the IED was made and placed. He was in a hided wall discovered a day or two later. So I will support keeping them at GITMO for as long as needed. So, yes NY David we do have a mess. But I disagree that it is all the presidents fault. The real fault lies with many Americans that i feel have to much time on their hands. so many want to shout about Human Rights, and many other things like taking GOD out of our schools, gov ect%u2026. But they are the first to back down on what is really right. Many of these people that are on Hold are TERRORIST and will kill us and our families with no questions. ask. Yes, there many be a couple that are there due to being the the wrong place at the wrong time, but so was my son and all the others of our Fallen. Like I said before: God Help Our Country.

Doug pointed out above that NO credible evidence existed to prove allegations of terrorism against 5 Bosnians just released. Others, too, have been released because there is no credible evidence to support allegations of terrorism. Your bald-faced assertion, then, that all GTMO detainees are terrorists is not well taken and poorly supported.

PS. You need to brush up on your knowledge of habeas. It was instituted in 1215 and is one of the most enduring legal writs in the world nearly 800 years later. Your assertion that Americans are not entitled to bring petitions for habeas relief outside of the US is flat out wrong!

We as Americans are not afforded the same rights as the citizens of other countries in their courts around the world, nor are Americans given the right of Habeaus Corpus or anything else for that matter in those countries. So why should a terrorist who was swept up off the battlefield after killing and maiming Americans, or just before he carried out his objective to do so, be afforded the rights those same Americans gave their lives to secure for our citizens.

They should have been tried in the Military Courts as Bush wanted them to be but was stopped from doing so. They are Military combatants who were doing wrong and should be dealt with by the Military. They do NOT belong in US courts with US laws and US judges and US juries. I agree that if they were wrongfully picked up, send them back. Only problem with that is that their own countries DON’T want them back. They know they are no good and don’t want them.

I agree that if we hideously torture the prisoners and I mean really torture them like our people have been tortured around the world, then yes David, we have stooped to their level. If they are thrown before a Kangaroo court and given a mock trial and taken out back and shot at dawn then yes David we have stooped to their level.

But kowtowing to their every religious and dietary need, is hardly something I would call violating their rights till we sort out what it is that should be done with them. If we had stooped to their level, these men would all be dead by now.

I do agree, it IS great to be us. But it also sucks because everyone in the world loves to point a finger at us and say how bad we are and all the things we do wrong, (Wait, maybe thats the American Media I’m thinking of. . .) but there is never anything about what we do right. If we had just minded our own business the whole rest of the world would be speaking German or Japanese right now. But thats not what we are all about. Wise or not, foolish or not, we are Americans and we are all about helping those who can’t help themselves. That’s why we are in this situation.

As I said, we are a Nation of inherent good, and despite all those who hate us, we still do the right thing. It might take us a while to figure out what the right thing is, but we get there, and we correct our mistakes and punish the ones who did wrong. It just makes it that much harder when there are lawyers who all think they need to be in the spot light and throw monkey wrenches into everything that helps to create boondoggles like we have now. They don’t ALWAYS have other peoples best interests at heart.
