Back to subject at hand , if you choose to believe that people are being detained by our government for no good reason Im not going to try and change your mind. Write your congressman , ask them to have them released without delay , you could even offer up some sort of service for these poorly accused people , ah dunno maybe take them into your home or donate some money to them and their families.
I have no problem with locking up people who may even have been just hanging out with their buddy the terrorist , because they should pick better friends and not be hanging out where they could be percieved as wanting to kill Americans

if you could explain to me how my thoughts on a trial = me wanting people released, i'm breathless with anticipation. my contention is that the argument of 'they aren't citizens, thus not covered under our constitution' is a bullshit argument-we try foreign citizens in our courts every day. a guy from mexico flew an ultralight into arizona-laden with marijuana. did we lock him up, never charge him and detain him for years? no. he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to 33 months in one of our jails. i'd imagine he'll be returned to mexico once he serves his sentence.
but please, give me a break on claiming i'm for releasing anyone.
