Hey! If the evidence was good enough to take them prisoner in the first place, then it's plenty damn good enough to keep them prisoner - forever, if that's what it takes to keep just one American safe from these terrorists.

And what if we do make a mistake? It's no skin off our noses!

BTW, that article is just plain horrific in its dry, matter-of-fact recitation of the story.

I'm angry and ashamed that our (aus) govt hasnt made any real effort to have David Hicks extracted from Guantanamo and tried here under his own country's law instead. He's been there for years now as well.

Why haven't the Cubans placed dead horses and burning tires along the fences everyday of the year? That's what I'd suggest.

Guantanamo suicides "an act of asymmetric warfare waged against us" and a "good PR move."
