Yes! I'm so surprised I can agree with you on something, but well said!

They just want you out of their country. And you should get your ass out immediately.
Most conservatives are quite happy to send someone else to Afghanistan to attack people who have lived there for a thousand years. The last days of American colonialism are on display in Afghanistan.

They can be considered POWs. Since the war is not officially ended, it is valid to imprison POWs. Some American POWs cannot return home either.

We detain domestic criminals, why not those foreign that have perpetrated atrocities against America?
What has he been convicted of, even the Germans received their day on court and it didn't take 10 years.

There is no proof that those on the no fly list and what many want to turn into the no gun list are guilty of anything either.

Can I assume we no longer agree?

Where are those American POWs? On the other hand, I can tell it makes you feel safer for our gov't to imprison people for years with no formal charges.

The real blemish on the US is Obama and the Progressive Kooks that support him.

Gitmo is not a blemish on the USA.

There's nothing wrong with the Taliban. They've got every right to fight for their country's independence from foreign powers...including the United States.
They formed an alliance with Bin Laden and harbored him after 9/11. Fact.

And most of the original Taliban were from Saudi Arabia. It was never their country.

OBL was being harbored by Pakistan. We did nothing about that.

And we continue to ignore that.
