"Innocent" Terrorists

If the media would give a complete honest factual accounting of the character and actions of many (not all) of those confined at GITMO, the rest of America as well as the world would know what the young members of military who supervise these detainees know: Most of them are killers who make Hannibal Lechter a appear a debutant. They want to kill or rape and kill ALL Americans, not be cause they are republicans, or support George Bush, but just because they are Americans. They jump at EVERY opportunity to assault the guards, physically, verbally or by spitting, throwing urine, feces or whatever. It is a sobering experience that has nothing to do with the treatment they received while in custody. They are ruthless killers with the only goal of destroying Americans and then the rest of any culture that does not complete fit their ideas, if such a culture can exist. The young servicemembers who make up the security staff at GITMO are the real victims of abuse and must be honored and commended for what they endure day in and day out.

Time to End This Charade

These terrorists were caught in the battlefield trying to kill American soldiers and responsible for killing a CIA agent. Now detained without trial. Option #1 - ship them to a U.S. Ally with a mutual aid military treaty and leave them to rot in jail there, and Option #2 - those terrorists who claim innocence may volunteer for truth serum, with iris scan, voice stress analysis and conventional lie detector. If they pass all the tests, they may be set free. Now, setting all these hateful detainees free without conditions - or even setting them free to be "reconditioned" is a joke. Don't you think after years of jail, they'd be even more hateful and want to kill more Americans? Many who have been released have rejoined al Queda or other jihadist groups or are providing such groups with various types of support. Now why would we want to release these violent anarchists? And why should we? In the olden days of warfare, it would have been conventional to line them all up and shoot them... and the innocents would be collateral.

To avoid future problems

Just "Take No Prisoners"

They should have been left where they were...they are prisoners of war. They toture our soliders when caught then behead them in so all can see including family. There is no punishment great enough for them. Exacution is to quick an easy. If President Obama does not believe that terrism is a war...wait until it happens on his watch. People in the United States forget to easy the horror that was done here to innocent men, women, and children.

what should happen to the terrorists

Its a simple soultion. EXACUTE THEM!!!!!!! They wont change because thats what they know how to be. Taxpayers shouldnt have to pay for their survival in any prison. If they live we as tax payers are still being terrorized by these crimonals. I SAY AGAIN KILL THEM ALL!!!!
