I think what Catty is trying to get at is not that all these people should just be let go because they haven't broken any U.S. Criminal laws, it's that most of them are being held without charges, for years and years. If they're caught shooting at people, or plotting to blow up civilians, fine then, off to the lock up with you. However, many of these people are being held on mere suspicion (hence the 100 people being freed). I don't know about you, but if I was completly innocent of any wrong doing but got tossed in a military prision for several years and was interrogated ceaselessly just because I happened to be a terrorist cousins or something 'Destroy the Great Devil America' would probably start to sound pretty good. And that's before you start to throw in the torture and peeing on the Koran allegations.
Oh, and remember there not Prisoners of War. There 'Enemy Combatants'. Semantics is the very SOUL of all law.--
"An errand is getting a tank of gas or picking up a carton of milk or something. It is not getting chased by flying purple pyromaniac gorillas hurling incendiary poo."

If you become a monster to put down a monster you've still got a monster running around at the end of the day and have as such not really solved the whole monster problem at all.
