Tell me...you're talking about a people that would "willingly" kill themselves, just so they can drawback on us. Tell me...do you really think we should be worried? They're alive. Easy as that. Far as I know, they haven't even been tortured. Detained, yes, but not tortured.
They're being held at a "camp". That ought to be the first clue that something is horribly wrong. And they're being denied all the benefits of the Constitution and the Geneva Convention. And, as we learned from the Abu Ghraib scandal, the government's not going to be honest if there are abuses happening at Camp X-Ray. And being alive doesn't count for much in these cases. Think of all the Jews that the Allied forces liberated at the end of WWII. They were alive, but that doesn't mean they were okay.

Especially when they know that the true terrorists who are in there with them will eventually be confirmed guilty. Maybe not all of them, but at least a good part of them. So tell me...how is what we're doing wrong? Yes, we may be holding them against their will, but it is a neccessary procedure. If the one's in there haven't done anything wrong, then they will be weeded out and released back into society. It's as easy as that.
Released? These are guys being held under the orders of Bush, the same man who turned Texas into the Prison capitol of the US. Their lives are in the hands of a man who has, throughout his presidency, shown an utter disregard for human life. He'll send people off to die halfway across the world, and will actually ignore the Geneva Convention. Face it. Unless Bush is stopped, we're all screwed.
