With Florence, Colorado hosting a SuperMax Federal Prison resident’s have little to worry about. Among the residents, Zacarias Moussaoui, known as the 20th hijacker. So do would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid and Ramzi Yousef, who tried to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993. Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski also calls the SuperMax home.
Quite frankly I’d like to see the Detainees find resident in Alabama, give Shelby something to whine about…
Gitmo is like a country club compared to Supermax. Supermax is punishment for prisoners that have no reason to behave (so they don't) when they're in a maximum security prison with other inmates. Supermax is torture...prisoners are kept in their 7x12 foot cells alone (solitary confinement) for 23 hours a day with one hour for exercise alone in another cell that's not much bigger. The only human contact they get is with the staff.
There is a reason the republicans think the prisoners will run free. They are afraid they will be given a fair trial and no evidence will be presented against them. How can you convict a school child who was apprehended from his classroom? You can't really use the confession obtained after years of torture. There is no evidence so none can be presented.
The problem is that these innocent people have been tortured so long, that is natural to expect they will want revenge. Since they didn't do anything wrong, how can they be held? If we let them go, what will happen. They must be pretty upset with the US.

The majority of those imprisoned were not caught by US forces, but rather Warlords from Pakistan, Syria, N Iraq etc who were interested in bounties. Holding these individuals for years without charging them, denying them access to a lawyer, or any other legal process surely made them hate America. Mission Accomplished.

I don't normally say things like this but, in case it seems appropriate....are you out of your mind? Innocent school children that have been tortured for years and want revenge on the U.S. I have never heard the most liberal of liberals make an assessment of Gitmo like that.
You make comments like this as though you were actually there and have first hand knowledge. They were upset with the U.S. when we put them there.....that's why we did.

If you have something to say, go ahead and spit it out.

How do you collect physical evidence during a war? For example: Do you call in CSI: Afghanistan? Do you rope off the area near a roadside bomb to protect the crime scene? Maybe you go door to door and see if there were any witnesses? And if there were, maybe you bring the witnesses to the US to testify as the NY Times prints the witnesses' names ensuring their family back home gets slaughtered.
And when the perps are on trial, I'm sure their lawyers will make sure we hear all about their poor backgrounds, the bad ozone level in their town or lack of available healthy food in their diet, how images from al-jazeera TV news made them violent, how before they became suicide bombers they just made prayer rugs to sell in the town market and like good boys always went to the store for their moms (or escorted her to one), how they sang in the "choir" in their mosque, and how they had to join the Taliban/Hamas/Hezbollah/etc. because of peer pressure in their neighborhood.
I'm thinking it will be tough for their lawyers to blame drug company CEOs so that one is out.
