Pretty weak, Vito. Fact is you were blowing smoke with your claim that
there
had been hearings for each of those held at Gitmo. Better to admit that
you
had nothing to back up the claim, and were wrong on that score, and move
on
to some valid arguments for holding them.

Gee, you're right Dave. It's crazy to assume that any local authority looked
at each person before turning them over to Americans or that some American
authority did the same before flying each one to Gitmo then feeding,
clothing and sheltering them, some for years. It's much more logical to
assume that each is a poor innocent who, like Mohammad, magically ended up
somewhere else (Gitmo) because Allah willed it.

A friend stationed in Saudi told of an execution he witnessed. There was a
hullabloo and a crowd formed. Somebody had seen a Saudi officer go into
another's quarters and summoned the mullah. Moments later the officer was
dragged out, thrown on the ground and beheaded. Then the other officer's
wife was thrown into the crowd where the women stoned her to death! He had
pictures. Both had been "tried", found guilty and condemned to death by the
mullah in moments - without hearings, votes or any other procedure we
expect. Such is justice over there. Why is it so hard to believe that each
detainee got the same "justice"?
