What is your position regarding the POWs being held at the US military base at Guantanamo Bay?
I have noticed it has become something of a battle cry in the liberal press of late.
It is outside of US legal jurisdiction, and that is why al-Queda terrorists and former Taliban prisoners are being held there.
Under US Law, the terrorists and their supporters would be afforded the same rights as any criminal, if held in US territory.
As long as they remain at Gitmo, they have no such legal protection.
I think it is necessary, since we are still "at war" in a very unconventional sense.
I also believe these men are too dangerous to be let free.
If you disagree, what would you do instead?
