Nor would I, but I would vote against cross-posting private messages and also against cluttering the forum with messages consisting of only a URL and a signature. > >> P.S.: Do you still believe that all or most inmates of Guantanamo are >> dangerous terrorists? >> > > I am convinced that at least some of them are in fact very dangerous.

For the first time you have admitted that not all of them are "the worst of the worst". > Some or all of those mistakenly apprehended have been released. Again I agree with you, at least in part. Unfortunately, I can't agree with the "or all" part. > Some of those released ended up committing > further violent acts after they were released, so they were in fact > dangerous terrorists despite someone believing they were not. > Another explanation may be that they were so enraged by their treatment that they became "fighters against America". Naturally, I don't know if that is true or not, but if I had been incarcerated by the Americans for many years and possibly been torutred, I cannot say that I might not try to get even by fighting against them. > > I hope this answers your question to the best of my ability, so please stop > asking it.

If by "simply close it down" you mean "let everybody go", I agree with you, but I don't think that that is what the Obama administration is planning. However, if it means getting all inmates a chance at having their detention checked without the government hiding behind "state secrecy", I am in favor of it. Thank you for finally answering my question, and I am especially happy to find that your answer is much more agreeable than your other messages seemed to indicate.
