You are a pathetic, scared person with a small mind, unable to grasp fundamental principles of decency and fair play.
The next step to your "lock 'em all up because some might be dangerous" is "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out".
No, I am just not so narrow minded as to not consider that people like Bush and McCain might actually know what they are talking about;
McCain Condemns Supreme Court Guantanamo Ruling
John McCain weighed in on the U.S. Supreme Court decision on the rights of Guantanamo Bay prisoners to challenge their detention in U.S. courts at a town hall meeting Friday, calling the 5-4 decision ?one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.?
?These are enemy combatants, these are people who are not citizens, they are not and never have been given the rights that the citizens of this country have,? he said. ?Our first obligation is the safety and security of this nation and the men and women who defend it.?
Looks like Bush is hinting at legislation to keep the detainees right where they are so this whole thing could be moot soon.
Bush disagrees with court's Guantanamo ruling
President Bush on Thursday strongly disagreed with a Supreme Court ruling that clears foreign terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay to challenge their detention in U.S. civilian courts. Bush suggested new legislation may now be needed to keep the American people safe.
Bush said his administration will study the ruling. "We'll do this with this in mind ? to determine whether or not additional legislation might be appropriate so we can safely say to the American people, 'We're doing everything we can to protect you.'"
