Comparing Guantanamo to the WWII internment camps isn't really fair. The internment camps held US citizens simply based on their race. These are non-citizen terrorists, some suspected and some admitted. This would only be a fair comparison if we began sending all Americans of Arab descent to Guantanamo.
As for the age of the detainees, as long as they're kept separate from the other inmates, and given food, water and shelter, I'm fine with it. It's no different from a gangbanger in juvenile hall, except for the fact that there is no trial, only an interrogation process. The relatively low number of prisoners hints to me that we're not just locking up every brown-skinned person we bump into over there.
