As Americans are we proud that our nation has taken civilians, some of them US citizens, into custody and holds them indnfinitely without charge, without an attorney, without contact with family and without judicial review?
Are we disturbed that most of the original Gitmo detainees have already been determined to be of no danger afterall and released without so much as a "sorry to ruin your life but we just screwed up"?
How is it possible our US prisons are OK for holding the Uni-bomber, Ted Manson, the Okla. City bomber, and thousands of the lowest form humanity one can imagine but are not strong enough to safely confine an few dozen accused Islamic terrorist?
If the America of our our parents and grandparents was able to survive with hundreds of thousands of German, Italian and Japanese POW's held in barbed-wire stockades all across rural America in 1943-46, shouldn't today's America be able to survive a tiny fraction of that number in solitary at a maximum security prison?
And, does it not make some sense to get rid of one of the Terrorist's strongest recruiting aids.....Gitmo?
