I don't believe they will get all the rights of a citizen if they are brought to the U.S. I'm not sure where you got that information. Why don't we just wait to see how all this cases are handled; they are all complex and unique, but I'm sure we're smart enough to figure it out. Nobody, even us namby pamby liberals, want terrorists running around the U.S. (or the world for that matter), so please withhold your judgment. Barack Obama made a campaign promise that he would close Gitmo, and he's following through. I believe this is one of the reasons he won the election. Gitmo has been one huge black eye for the reputation of the U.S. and a recruiting tool for terrorists. Time for it to go.

this situation is unique. We will have to see what happens. Just for the record, I don't think you guys want terrorists running around like maniacs. That wasn't my point.... oh well.

You're right, I certainly don't want terrorists running free to attack us and our country.

But I don't understand how someone who is willing to fight to defend our constitution would want us to violate it with cruel and unusual punishment of suspected terrorists, arresting them without due process and presuming their guilt without a fair trial.

Somehow we have to find a way to control the situation while behaving like the great country we are and not stooping to the level of our enemies.
