1. If they're captured by our armed forces then they're POWs.

6. Ok, then hold them until the war is over or mission accomplished.
Whenever the hell that is.

4. I have a problem with the underlying assumption of your poll
how do we know they're terrorists?
and who defines what a terrorist is?

5. I have said since we first learned of the detainees...
that this is a huge tragedy.

Of the ones left, whether they were innocent, not so innocent, or guilty as sin...

They are all terrorists now.

We made them that way. Any that are still sane enough to form coherent thoughts will hate us for the rest of their lives. I cannot imagine that any, save the possibility that one is a Gandhi or King or Mandela, feel anything for us but a burning hatred and wish for our destruction.

And I have no idea what to do with them.

7. We should all advocate to let them go.
cause that is really all that those who are dismayed are saying anyways.

Why are we playing games and pretending otherwise.

8. Ask Lakhdar Boumediene who's playing games.
