By Whatever Means Necessary...?

It does not speak well to the intentions of the US if we need to become an enemy to liberty and justice to defeat an enemy. No. No excuses. No justifications. It's just wrong. Running a prison that holds people who are not even charged with a crime is NOT what the US stands for. It stinks and stands as an insult to our Founding Fathers and the ideals we are supposed to be fighting to protect.

Lawyers for the detainees, human rights groups and legal associations have increasingly questioned whether many of the prisoners can even rightfully be called terrorists. They note that only 10 of the roughly 465 men held at Guantánamo have been charged before military tribunals, and that recently released documents indicate that many have never been accused even in administrative proceedings of belonging to Al Qaeda or attacking the United States.
