That is the question that lies at the core. Are they rounded up and "abducted' from their homeland and held without legal aid, or are they "illegal combatants". A lot of people feel that the Gitmo prisoners are held without a sound legal base or status. And if they are innocent they will have been locked up for no reason with no legal base. If that turns out to be true the perverbial sh** wil hit the fan.
If they are guilty they will not receive much sympathy, but it is a precarius situation. Not unlike the 11 mentioned before, this could turn sour
