What should we do with the Guantanamo prisoners?

Release them? Try them? Leave them there indefinitely... forever?

Do we lose any alleged moral high ground by detaining then indefinitely? Should we care?
 
same thing we do with any prisoners. Put them on trial, release or incarcerate.
 
Give them trials so we can release them or give them a proper sentence for whatever crime they did.
 
I strongly disagree. We are a civilized country and everyone deserves a fair trial.
Okay. Trial first. Then shoot them. If given a chance, these people would kill you with glee for no particular reason other than you aren't them.

Explain that to the wounded warriors returning from fighting against the great Jihad. War against the US is not a crime so they should remain POWs until the war on terror is over. The good part about fighting "independently" is that your homeland is not attacked but the bad part is that makes the war last forever.

Yes but there may be more than a few who are possibly innocent and we need to get this mess sorted out. It's costing us in the meanwhile.

Are you 100% sure every detainee is in fact a terrorist?

The innocent are surely known. I do not favor the execution of innocent people. I do favor the execution of the rest. They would be better off meeting Allah.
 
Hand them over to Arpaio.

But jokes aside, we simply don't know enough to give an informed opinion. Even POTUS spoke hastily once. Now that he is in the know, he is stepping a bit more carefully.
If these people are guilty, we should find appropriate accommodations for them.
 
Do away with the red tape, ascertain which ones are guilty then destroy them. The politicians delaying the process are equally as guilty as the scumbags. Perhaps more so. They should be sent to Hell along with the jihadists.
 
I think they should be allowed a trial and a defense. And given how long many have been there time served should be granted. Whatever other time they have remaining to spend should not be spent furthering the notion that they should hate Americans. If you take a guy who hates Americans for whatever reason, probably somewhat misguided, then lock them up in a place like that, strip them of everything, torture them, and then release them like we have done in some instances, its not going to send them home with any type of positive message. We are only furthering the hate and taking something that was once misguided and making it into a hard fact.
 
Send them all back to wherever they came from. Next time, take no prisoners.
 
I agree with AW. We should try them and if they are guilty, sentence them and if not, release them, and close that expensive place down.
 
Wow! You mean business! :lol:

Yes I do. If you hate your enemy enough to go to war, then kill them. If you don't really want war, then stay home and leave them the hell alone. War is about the most serious human endeavor there is. Trying to have a nice war is total bull****.

I couldn't agree more. If you're going to fight a war, you should go balls to wall and minimize YOUR casualties. That is how you win wars. None of this red tape and hand-tying that they seem to do with our military.
 
Kill them all. Dead enemies better than аlive enemies.
Or someone have doubts that they are the enemies of us?

It doesn't really matter what you THINK. You have to prove that they are guilty of something. Being accused is different than being guilty, as has been proven on numerous, numerous occasions. :roll:

I think that we can be friends with Muslims. It Muslims see us in all their mortal enemies.

I say don't even try them. Release them and send them back home. What would they be guilty of? Making war? When we are the ones to initiated aggression in their country? Imo, we were fools to ever even go there. We should have been willing to kill them all, or stay out altogether. We try to make war "nice" nowadays- they are political endeavors without any real chance of accomplishing anything, and we will be leaving those countries the same ****holes they always were.

Honestly, I'm quite torn on the issue of Muslims and their religion. I know there must be some moderate ones out there, but when you hear of some of the things their leaders preach and hear about some passages in the Koran and the way some try to explain them away, some of the customs in Muslim-dominated countries of marrying children and how they treat women, it makes one wonder. Of course it isn't just that either, but the rampant terrorist ideology that is present in that religion.

Quran clearly indicates that other faiths should be treated as pigs or dogs. Pigs and dogs unclean animals for Muslims, which have to be destroy. Man that was born a Muslim, but decided to change his religion should be killed. A Muslim can not and should not apply to the infidel as well as to a Muslim. All these provisions have in traditional Islam. But for 100 years as he comes to replace original Islam Wahhabi wing of Islam. Who claims that only Jihad allows Muslim called a Muslim.
