Men held at Camp X-Ray, an American base since 2001.
Their lawyers demand they be charged, as they have been held without any claims made against them for over a year now.
America's response?
"It's not US soil, they're not covered by our Constitution"
This is the base where 2 "prisoners" died from "blunt force trauma" and the Medical Examiner ruled they had been beaten to death by US interrogators.
But hey, those weapons of mass destruction eh?

Obviously it's not right to hold so many without charge, may not be US soil but it's an example of something that isn't needed being done and causing more bad imagery for America. By now they must know who the major captives are, and who are just the foot soldiers and innocents. Send those guys back to Afghanistan, get the major people into the US, let them challenge it, and watch the outcome.
Even if they end up being released the CIA and everyone else can watch them basically 24/7.
The only thing I noticed was that those challenging this were Kuwaiti's, Uk and I think, Australian ? What about the other 584 odd people ? Seems a bit like people trying to play the "were from places you think are civilised" card...though not sure if Kuwait comes under that heading.
This whole thing is a case of how far we go to stop terrorism, and when exactly do we go to far. If anyone is watching series 2 of 24 on BBC2/3 then that's got a similar dilemma in it. How far is too far ?
Better go do something productive now :)
