What I'd have prefered is that from the beginning the rule of law would have been upheld instead of the bungling by the Bush administration and it's ridiculous Justice Department. They should have been brought into the federal court system or some other form of military justice.
This isn't anything new to the fundamental beliefs of this country. Apprehend them, gather evidence, prosecute them, give them the right to legal defense, and convict them and put them away/execute them or turn them loose.
American's don't believe in endlessly imprisoning people and never giving them a chance at a fair trial.
I know Dick Cheney, GWB, Alberto Gonzalez and some Republicans aren't concerned with the rule of law, but some still believe in it.
By the way Rev, this ex-Bush official says the majority of those in Gitmo are innocent.

Gitmo is a blight on this country and it's been one of Al-Qaeda's best recruitment means.
