I wish we really had moral leadership (not people who pretend to be moral by talking about Jesus while starting wars).

Why is endless detention wrong? We did it in World War 2 to thousands upon thousands of Germans, Italians, Romanians, Japanese and so on. They were called PRISONERS OF WAR. Detention with no end in sight. It is more morally wrong to release them to go back to the battlefields and kill Americans, again. Which many of those that have been released have been caught doing.
As for "secret torture," I know that the black sites are secret, but there's no evidence that there is torture. In some events, I approve of torture when it makes the difference between another 9/11 and the moral qualms of torture, I could live with a little PTSD to prevent another 3,000 dead.
The President didn't start this war, he is merely engaged in fighting it. Maybe you should get involved, too.
