I've said it before on here. Some of this bothers me too man. I mean, I don't see the harm in letting the red cross come in occasionally, or with letting them get (not send) mail. A review process could work I guess, but how the hell do you know if this person is "reformed". For me since we're not talking about citizens I think it's better to play it safe. I mean do we really want to turn trained terrorists loose on the world? On ourselves? Remember we didn't start with these people. They came here and they killed Americans. Now the Iraq thing you know I am really conflicted about.

And, for me, this is a tough issue. But. What message do we send to the world if we're holding people indefinitely? What does that say about our principles? And does that threaten our freedom? To me, it does. Now that's not to say they need a trial such as an American would get, but they should get something - even if that something is a bi-yearly review. It just seems to me that we need to go that extra step to show that, even under fire, we uphold our principles. There's got to be a better solution. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:164349 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
