What part of INNOCENT do you not understand???
Without access to a trial there might well be INNOCENT people in there - I'm interested in your thoughts on that?

How many thousands of enemy combatants were innocent in past wars? Those people were held in custody until the end of hostilities with no lawyers. Were they not?

No. England held thousands of Germans in illegal captivity until the early 1950's.

You could be right, and I agree that would have been wrong too. But these people would have all been POW's , not civilians plucked from the streets(or a country America has invaded),flown by the CIA half way across the world,tortured (allegedly) and then banged up in a prison where they have no-way of proving their innocence.
Not really the same is it ?
I can't believe we're having this discussion- I really can't.
