Sounds like at least some genuine bad guys were at Gitmo. How did he get out?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are right Infohawk, some genuinely bad guys were at GITMO, but we also now know some genuinely innocent guys were there also. Who were simply detained and never charged for years and years and years on zero evidence.
Exactly the tactics the British used in our American revolution in 1776, and why we got a strong bill of rights in our American constitution written over 200 years ago.
Maybe there are people like Nelson Mandella who will not be bitter for spending over half of his life in jail, and become a better man for it. Sadly, most people treated the same way, may not be motivated by terrorists going in but will emerge seeking revenge and become full fledged terrorists.
And when we consider 3 million plus Palestinians are imprisoned with diminished impoverished lives in the land of their birth by Israeli government policy, its hard to get overly excited when only 7 or so innocent Israeli lives end in violent death. Why are not equally concerned when Israel uses terrorist policies and probably kills far more than 7 innocent children each and every day in group punishment terrorism?
Terrorism is rotten, unjustified, unfair, but when there is some much social inequity, terrorism is simply a symptom and not a direct cause of the disease. Why should a Palestinian life be worth far less than an Israeli one?
And here we are, outraged that Russia Vetoes dope slapping Assad's Syrian brutality in the security council, when only the USA does the same in ending Israel's 45 year military occupation of land Israel can never own?
