Now... do you believe that the US would do the same to these terror suspects? Pick up random Muslims and throw them in jail? Nope... to be send to Cuba, you'd need to be into some seriously suspicious shit. That you haven't seen any proof does not mean there is none.
Even if there isn't any firm evidence, it doesn't mean they are innocent: terrorists aren't really known for leaving lots of clues about their crimes, you know. That'd be stupid, and stupid terrorists would be dead, instead of incarcerated.
(oh, and I doubt these Pakistanis would like to go back to Pakistan. The conditions in Guantanamo bay are waaaaay better than in a Pakistani prison...)

so, are you saying that US should lower itself to the standards of these countries?
i'm pretty sure that there are lots of countries that have NOT done this to US nationals.
