While I agree that personal insults should be left out of this discussion, (and those were way too many question marks,) naive is a pretty good adjective. Read the article, the -WHOLE- article. These are youth that have been essentially brainwashed by their culture since they were kids, came over here, and killed a person. The american court system isn't prepared to deal with something like this-- if they are found guilty, they are thrown into ju-v somewhere until they're 18, then released as "martyrs". They go back to their country hailed as heroes, get a few more grenades, come back, and kill somebody else. That time, since they're now "mature", they'll get a death sentence or life in prison. Or they're found innocent and released, go immediately back to their country hailed as heroes, get a few more grenades, come back, and kill somebody else, and repeat the process until they're found guilty or 18. At Guantanamo, these youth are being dealt with by professional psychologists. They learn to read and write in arabic. They even get to watch movies and play soccer! This isn't jail-- this is rehabilitation, which is exactly what these kids need and won't be able to get in the american court system.
