# Takes a while to google them
but here's one report, since you probably won't regard this report as 'credible' by your standards.

It would be unwise to assume that people are pure as the driven snow merely because they're being held by the evil US.

# There you go dealing in extremes again
My insisting on a trial or doubting their level of guilt does not mean that I think they are whiter than white.

# I don't assume that, that's why I was asking.
The first link didn't work for me, and yes, I'm somewhat unwilling to believe 100% what I read on foxnews.com, but let's assume it's true for now: surely, if the US releases suspected terrorists back into the world and they come back to fight again, that's a major intelligence failure on the part of the US administration in its job to protect it's citizens?

# It's certainly a failure
-- but it's erring on the side of giving the prisoners more rights rather than less.

If the US heeded the demands of some that all Guantanamo inmates be released unless they were positively proven to be terrorists to jury-trial standards, it would only worsen that situation.

# And holding men without trial, torturing them and 'rendering' them
is helping us to win hearts and minds across the globe.

# Actually it's you
who is doing your level best to 'lose' as many hearts and minds across the globe as you possibly can.

All because your own side isn't as perfectly squeaky-clean as you'd like it to be -- even as you don't ever criticise the real mass murderers, torturers and tyrants we're fighting.

# Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Yes, I am unwittingly in league with the terrists. I should let a few more things slide, lest I provide fodder for recruitment videos.

# Hmm.
I don't know my international human rights law well enough to continue this discussion, really.

# Don't let him bluff you.
Most of his arguements are based on what he learns from War Picture Library.

# Oh,
I really can't be bothered. I was just interested to see if there actually was some solid report saying something like "Muhammed Q. Jihaddist was released from Gitmo on Monday and blew the fuck out of Baghdad on Thursday", but of course it's just some GOP loudmouth on Fox saying the US admin is "too liberal" again. "Too liberal..." You couldn't make it up, no-one would believe you.
