Held without any due process or release date? Yeah.

The fox guarding the hen house says the hens are treated well, too.


Nice to know that you consider the United States a fox and members of Al Qaeda and the Islamic State "hens." It explains a lot.

Due process is a constitutional right given to citizens of nationals that agree to the Geneva Conventions. Members of Al Qaeda and Islamic State do not hold to the Geneva Conventions so have all the rights given to enemy combatants. And in general, prisoners of war are held confined for the duration of the war. Last time I checked, Al Qaeda and the Islamic State are still at war against the USA.

If any of them were tried before military tribunals, would you even know about them? They could have all been given life sentences by the military as far as anyone knows. The problem is that you don't know anymore than what your Democratic talking points tell you.
