IMO, there's a big distinction between that situation and a few others that some people are so quick to compare.

Nevertheless you must
proove that they are terrorists - instead of holding them for years and years without court procedures. When you are basing your argument on
"If those who were detained were terrorists or prisoners of war then..." - you still must make sure that there are counter-checkable procedures to examine if they really are what you imagine they are.
I suspect you of being a terrorist, fredbass. I send you to jail that is not operating by legal standards, because I label you to be an illegal terrorist. I am accepting that you will be tortured, and call that alternative interrogations. Because if you were not a terrorist, you wouldn't be in jail. - Is that the kind of "logic" you want your legal system being run by? Do you want your children being made subject of such procedures? What separates you from your enemies being mislead by similiar queer distortions of logic, caused by their inhumane religious beliefs? You two are of the same kind if you both behave in the same way.
Imaginations, assumptions, hear-say - all that does not and cannot replace the need of evidence and prooving the guilt of the accused - within reasonable time-frames. Not years and years.
