Current Events » in reply to Released Guantanamo detainees go back to shooting at us. Big surprise.

And you would do exactly what?

First, go BACK to shooting at us? Any of those released folks confirmed fighters?

Secondly, it's not as if they were treated in a manner designed to demonstrate any American respect for humanity. Twere me, if I didn't hate America before Guantanamo, I sure would after.

And I'm talking about what sources say is the vast majority of those detainees - not guilty of anything except being in the neighborhood.

Great way to breed terrorists.

"It also noted that some of the detainees were elderly or infirm and hardly appeared dangerous. One of those was a genial old man with a long wispy beard whom interrogators nicknamed "al-Qaeda Claus." Another, who was able to make the trip only after extensive medical care from Army doctors in Afghanistan, quickly became known as "Half-Dead Bob."

"Nearly two years later, military officials said, the evidence against many of the detainees is still so sparse that investigators have been able to deliver cases for military prosecution against only 15 of the suspects, six of whom have already been designated for trial."
