I think everyone is in agreement that MOST of the detanees that are being held there are there for good reasons and should never see the light of day again. My problem is with the few folks who are there who should never have been there in the first place. You ready to toss inocent people aside?

Interesting point Andrew, don't like the idea of innocent people being tossed aside, though I seriously doubt anyone in there is totally innocent.

Let me turn it back. You ready to risk thousands of innocent lives for the sake of the very few who may possibly be innocent?

Soon as those people go into our regular system, it's certain they'll be released on our streets in short order. Are your ideals strong enough to have a former Gitmo detainee as a neighbor? You answer yes to that one, and you're a better person than me. I don't want any of them on continental United States soil.
