MMMMMMM and others US foreign policy defenders - ethics?

This goes to the whole nature of Guantanamo. Prisoners handed over by regimes known for dubious arrests of political opponents makes the likelyhood that the prisoner is victim to political persecution more likely than if he was caught holding a gun against US troops

My problem with your statements is that you keep saying that "many" and "a lot" of innocent people are being kept at Guantanamo Bay. The links you provided show this to be untrue. The International Committee of the Red Cross has access to the detainees. The US has a process in place to determine who is and is not an enemy combatant. Those deemed to be non-enemy combatants are either sent home or turned over to their home countries' government. What more do you expect of the US?

This discussion is becoming a mess and isn't going anywhere. In 2009 this matter will probably be solved anyway.

Agreed.
