Why, because you don't happen to agree with the way that some of us feel about this issue? If I happen to feel strongly that these people do NOT deserve a trial for the reasons that I posted earlier, that makes this thread degenerate?
Here, I'll state my case for you once again :

I think that we've had this debate several times in the past, that IMO these prisoners are NOT deserving of an American styled court of law trial. If anything, the best that they should get is a Military trial held in a Military tribunal somewhere in international waters. And even that's questionable because they do NOT represent any Flag, any government, or any tpe of governmental military established to defend or protect a country and it's people. So the Geneva Convention accords shouldn't even apply to these animals.
They are enemy combatants who have committed treason against this country or have taken part in plots or attempts to attack American soil or interests in one form or another. They are NOT citizens of this country and therefore they are not deserving of a trial under the Laws of the United States Of America.
These people are extremist fantatic vagabonds who's only goal in life is to attack and destroy ANYONE who does not succumb to their fanatacal extremist beliefs.

There are many reasons to hold these dangerous terrorists. One of those reasons is that they provide us with a wealth of important information that we must continue to collect. But to make this happen, they need to be confined in a special facility away from everyone else where they can be controlled effectively and interrogated properly. Gitmo Bay fits these requirements in ways no other facility would. This high security prison is keeping extremely dangerous terrorists from killing more innocent Americans. That's the bottom line in my book. It is not a gulag or torture camp, it is a high security prison housing the scumbags who want to behead our people, blow up our buildings and destroy our way of life.
So because this is my view on this matter, and you don't agree with it, then according to you this thread has degenerated once again.
Hey, as our Don has pointed out to us this past week :
Talk about "whatever" here - but please keep it respectable! If you don't like certain topics or particular members, please ignore them. If one feels that strongly about a particular thread, then that person shouldn't continue to read such threads...
....so if you don't agree, please don't accuse us of degenerating this thread. Just move on.
