I don't think anybody in this thread ever claimed that all prisoners at Gitmo are innocent. There are people there that should be in prison, no doubt. But that should be determined by a judge.
Both international and US laws require a timely trial. Keeping someone in prison without any charges for years is not allowed in most countries and also not in international laws.

Granted, the right to a speedy trial has not been afforded them but they also are not US citizens therefore they do not have those rights.

And i think it is this attitude that makes the USA not the most friendly country (mildy put) in the eyes of those living outside the USA.
So if they are not a citizen of the USA, they are 2nd grade humans?
