RE: So Pony Up The RIGHT Answer

Comment comment by Anonymous on 28 February 2008

... but due process through the courts and natural justice.

One thing you probably don't realize is that most (okay - yes that means some weren't) are in Gitmo following judicial procedures. I know for fact that one of those detainees made it there:

  • after the legal system confirmed the corroborating facts that target ABC was a lawful suspect for a military operation
  • after the legal system had the target approved by the Iraqi judicial ministry
  • after his capture produced even more evidence of criminal/insurgent activity
  • after his incarceration in common detention facilities in Iraq while the new evidence was reviewed by both American and Iraqi judicial systems
  • after subsequently moving through several detention facilities each time getting increased scrutiny on him, the operation and the evidence

Bottom line - the people that are in Gitmo made it there following judicious review of evidence. It's not just "some call" by some military folk that we're going to stick a guy in there. It's a well defined procedure that is far more rigorous and subject to more eyes than putting an American rapist into jail.

And you also forget that a lot of the suspects from abroad that are incarcerated didn't just come from the CIA (insert three letter organization here) nabbing them from the streets. They came from operations involving the same cooperation with foreign states if not actions by those same foreign states.

The dudes in there are bad. Real bad.
