Guilt must be proven, not just claimed and assumed. This is one of the most basic, most elemental, most fundamental, most essential principles of Western tradition of law and order. Unlimited imprisonment without court procedures or evidence of guilt, is not acceptable - it's police state measures, it is arbitary "justice".
The whole Guantanamo project was a stupid idea from stupid minds from the very beginning on.

Leaving out for a moment the possible abuse in gitmo-wasn't the idea of detaining Al Quaida collaborators/POWs whole purpose of the prison?
Maybe it should be looked more at who and why is send there and not existence of the place itself.
I wonder really how many cases of abuse/false impressment happened comparing to militants and collaborators that are held there.
So we hear about some wrongly detained people that instantly make to all the news what about all the rest?
So what about the POWs should US just should them between the ayes or charge them with guerrilla warfare and shoot them then.
