Do you think the US should torture Gitmo detainees?  I mean they kinda want all of us to die to accomplish..?

yes we SHOULD torture them\n\nthey arent u.s. citizens, they dont have constitutional rights\ntheir surrender was unconditional\n\nwe should have an eye-for-eye-tooth-for-tooth system. if they cut our peoples heads off with dull bladed swords, we have every right to do the same\n\nin the phillippines they stopped the insurrection by burying the islamic extremists in pig feces.. that stopped it really quickly since they believe being buried in pig feces is an auto-hell granting.  we should do what the filipinos did.

So Saddam tortured people and now it's right for us to do it?\n\nAmerica lost her moral high-ground in the eyes of the world and it isn't about the gay marriage issue.  Get this through your head...WE ARE TORTURING PEOPLE BY POLICY.  It wasn't a pair of PFC nit-wits at Abu Ghraib, it was POLICY.  90 suspects have died in US detention due to interrogation "techniques".  The House Majority leader said it was "A-OK to crush a child's testicles to prevent terror attacks."\n\nThen we have the Sergeant Major of SOCOM (Special Forces) testifying before Congress saying that torture has NEVER in his long experience gained any useful information.  Suspects will lie and say anything people want to hear to get it to end, or they will bite their lip until they die.  Good enough for me, let's please END THIS BLIGHT ON OUR REPUBLIC.

It may not be perfect but.... If not there then where?  Let these choir boys walk?   Theses are for the most part people dedicated to killing as many Americans in particular and non-fundementalist Muslims in general as possible.\n\nA large percentage of the ones that have been released have been recaptured, killed or detained back in Iraq or Afghanistan fighting again.\n\nThe sooner the bleeding hearts crying for the release of these poor lambs realize they want to kill us, them included, by any means possible the better off we will be.\n\nTry them in our civil court system??  HA!  Look what a multi million dollar circus the Moussaoui trial has been and not near finished yet because it will be ENDLESSLY appealed.\n\nThe next time anyone starts beating their breast and whining about the detainees "civil rights" being violated, refer them to the web sites with the beheadings of the hostages in Iraq and let them see how the rights of the terrorists prisoners are respected while they kick and scream as their heads are sawed off.\n\nSo.... what do I REALLY think??  OK, nail all the cells doors shut and set the place on fire, that would do justice and shut the people up calling for release.  Detainees cases allll closed, next pleeese!

No, no a thousand times no.\n\nAnd you don't get good information through torture!  our government has known that for 25 years.\n\nIf my child  were raped, the perpetrator should face a FIRING SQUAD, which is not torture.\n\nThe USA has crossed a terrible line it shouldn't have crossede with Git'mo and Abu Grihab.  We'll pay for this.

You're absolutely right. Send all of them to the United States of America, which prescribes electrocution, gassing, hanging, injection with lethal drugs and execution by firing squad. The USA also permits the public (through the camera lens of the media) to witness these events.\n\nWhat do I feel? You've really got to ask?

The US Government does NOT torture people.  They simply use harsher methods, such as leaving lights on 24/7, extended interviews and sometimes messing with the Koran or other things.  The Red Cross is angry at the US because our prisoners are in fact getting too FAT!  Ha!  Anyone think the terrorists are concerned about how much food our boys get when they are captured?  Heck no!  They are probably not even fed!  The fact of the matter is, we feed them 3 squares, give them exercise and do all sorts of things.  We do not electrocute or lash or behead or anything like that.  The MCA does NOT advocate torture, but harsher measures, measures, mind you, that are not contrary to the Geneva convention.  The US gov't realizes that torture does not provide reliable information, but more intense interrogations does.  And this is what works, and what needs to be done!

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Americans do torture people from time to time.  I think it's mostly in retaliation for the atrocities committed by the enemy, and although I think it's human nature and understandable for our people to do things like that, I also think it's important for our soldiers to try to hold themselves to a higher standard than the Muslim animals who perpetrate such acts against us.  It's hard not to exact revenge against pigs like them, but it's important that our servicemen and women try to adhere to a higher, more honorable standard  than the enemy.  It's what distinguishes us from the so-called "people" we are fighting against.

I like your line of thinking but I don't know who your talking about.\nIf your talking about saddam... I'd like to see him suffer a little before his death.\nIf your talking about a child molester your death sentence will fit them justly.\nGruesome executions like that may act as a deterrent for criminals. Lord knows jail doesn't scare them any longer. The hardened criminals are fighting to get back behind bars in the U.S.

The detainees are not charge with any crimes and yet they continue to be their in that nightmare. The detainees are in what you call a legal black whole and the only thing that can be of aid to them is strong eemaan (faith) and trust in Allaah. And yes Islaam forbids suicide but we are only getting the details from Gitmo Officials and not that of three prisoners because they are dead. But I'm sure they have left letters and they have families who really knows the truth. The Prisoners are being raped, tortured, humiliated, and the beatings are horrific, so if they did kill themselves this probably would be why. So far only 26 detainees of Gitmo have been release due their non affiliation with Al-Qaedah or even having a criminal background they were just detailed for no reason and maybe their are some who are there for 9/11 or affiliation with Al-Qaedah. I don't feel like they killed themselves rather Gitmo Officials definitely had something to do with it and even if they did help Al-Qaedah would this be humane for an individual to treat a prisoner in this matter (and most of them are American citizens of the British, Canada etc.)? Why not charge them with a crime so that they could face the death penalty if they are found guilty otherwise it just looks like the Gitmo Officials unjustly killing or torturing for the fun of it.

i dont hate our freedom.  i hate that we dont have true freedom.  and our right to feel how we want, think like we want, say what we want is part of the freedom you are talking about.  deporting people to Guantanamo would be a violation of those rights...so then should you be deported too?

Yes, we've risen to new heights of incompetence.  If it is clear that each prisoner is a terrorist, it should be quick work to charge them, try them, and throw them into real jails (military or otherwise).  What is so unreasonable or difficult about that?\n\nBut it's taken more than 4 years to charge a tiny handful, and finally send a few never-charged people home.  While we don't seem to be able to get our stuff sufficiently together even to CHARGE the vast majority after all this time.\n\nIt's obviously incoherent.  I think the gov't is embarrassed to admit it's clueless about most of these prisoners (who mostly seem to be there based on snap decisions by soldiers in the field, as far as we can tell).  What do you say to people you've imprisoned for 4 years with no visitation by their families when you finally decide you have no basis to hold them and need to send them home?  Better to drag it out.  Maybe some evidence will turn up, or they will commit suicide or something.

thom has a point but surely you must know thom that we are referring to the pedophiles and child rapists. Personally I don't think these creeps should be fed on taxpayers money. Let them do manual labor and earn their keep instead of giving them a gym to work out in so they can become a threat to the prison guards. Execution gets a nod from me as does setting them loose in the south and telling some good ole red necks where and when they'll be dropped off. Those backwoods boys'll fix 'em good ...lol

Oh,.... pack your bags buddy. It's Gitmo for u. I shouldn't have even answered this question, because now I'm associated with you. We are both going down!

i cant agree with you more\n\nall we can do to POW's is feed them, let them pray, and the only punishments are sleep depraivation and loud music.\n\n"we have to or the terrorists will cut off our troops heads" oh wait i forgot, THEY ALREADY DO!\n\nmark my words: political correctness and these rules will get us nuked someday

I think they should be handed over to the family of the victim, and they can do anything they want to them except kill them. I would say put them in prison but then we have to feed and care for them the rest of their lives,so just take them out and hang them. This way we are sure they are not on our streets and putting some other child or women in danger. This also goes for the women. Send them all to Florida we have alot of hungry gators down here.

I think it's been bombed but I pray we get the people who killed the two soldiers.  Don't it make you made that our military gets in trouble if they slap a prisoner but when they capture an American they can do what they want. I say treat them like they would us.....

by any means necessary !... these are terrorist  , not an army engaged in warfare with us.. they  do not deserve or are entitled to the  Geneva convention rights that are extended in war time. how do they interrogate the ones that they capture ???   BY CUTTING OFF THEIR HEADS !..   I don't recall that method of being part of the Geneva convention ... do you ??... so here we are  treating them  with   respect  and getting  no information  while they use any cruel means they choose  and does the media   focus on that?? no..these are criminals ,  not soldiers, and  these crimes  do not come under are justice system, they are not entitled to a lawyer or legal procedures  that  exist in our country..  these crimes are not taking place in our country.. if they were  then  they would be entitled   to and   fall under our legal system. its easy to judge   our soldiers based on  what the media chooses to report, with out actually being there ,  and experiencing what they go thru on a daily basis   while they are  attacked  by  these terrorists living in a country they are  there to help.Im not saying we should be as sick or as cruel as they are to us, because we are above that... but  we should have more freedom  to interrogate them  with out the media sitting on their shoulders and making judgements they have no right to do ( back seat driving ! )....that being said...  we should send hilary clinton over there and make them listen to her  presidential campaign speeches   she  is most likely writing..... that would  be cruel and unusual punishment for me ! lol....
