Even worse - most, if not all, of these guys at Guatanamo were fighting in Irag and Afghanistan. Since when do we have any right taking people from their home land, or even from the lands of another, moving them elsewhere and detaining them at all. Under what circumstances where these guys fighting? Doesn't everyone have the moral right, even the obligation to shape their country into that which they believe to be right and just?
I'm not saying bad guys don't exist, but it is a fucking war for God's sake. If these guys are so dangerous why are they even here? Shouldn't their blood be food for poppies and their bodies nothing but ashes blowing across the Afghan desert?
