Well, we don't know how they are really being treated and we don't know what they are capable of or what they know.

I don't much care what we do to them. We could take them out and execute them wahtever. I do care if we pervert, circumscribe, or make a mockery of our Laws to do it because the consitution and our laws are the only thing that protects us from abuses by people with power.

For whatever reason our governmental structure has evolved into organized distrust. Our Founders seems to be astute students of human nature and knew that not all people are equal in their decision making capabilities. Therefore we have a Constitution that guarentees due process. ITs our Contract.

So again, while I don't care what we do with them, I do care if we start twisting our rules, because that is a slippery slope.
