We won't know who in Gitmo, or any other detention center (or whatever you'd like to call them), is guilty until they're tried in a court of law. The evidence should be presented for and against guilt and an impartial juror or jurors decide, based solely on the case, if the individual is actually guilty. The guilty should be necessarily sentenced and the innocent should go free.

For those whose guilt is in question, a trial is fine. The problem I have with a civilian trial is the expense for security and such. There were claims that one trial in NYC would cost $1 billion which I found absurd. So let them have a military trial at Gitmo.
For those who admit/brag they are guilty like the guy claiming credit for 9/11, or those who were caught in the act like the shoe bomber, why even bother with a trial. Just parachute them into a live fire military training exercise or something.
