- ugh 16y agoShouldn’t everyone you want to lock up have the right to a trial? What’s your point?
- sudonim 16y agoThe point is that _we_ are using a loophole to lock up people without a trial. Gitmo is that loophole and that's why we can't bring the prisoners to the united states.
- jmtulloss 16y agoThat's not true. We can hold prisoners of war without trial in the US. It's just hard to find a state that wants them. It's a "not in my backyard" problem.
- bl4k 16y agonot a declared war hence not prisoners of war besides prisoners of war have other rights (such as not being interrogated) under the Geneva Conventions - this all gets in the way of what we wanted from our prisoners at Gitmo
