We got this Guy....what do we do with him?
He got waterboarded and given full benefit of EIT.
How do you prosecute him "Criminally" and how long do you hold him without a Trial....or do you turn him loose?
Can we argue the World is better off with him being a long term Resident of Gitmo?
These issues are not easy to address as there are no easy answers and pretending there is just does not countenance reality.
Lofty arguments about "Morality" are fine in the Classroom or over a Pint in the Pub but when it comes to dealing with Evil for real then it gets much more complex.
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed - The Guantánamo Docket
Sun,
A few have very much made it an "American" thing and my argument is every Nation has some skin in this game in their past.
The UK was confronted with this in the past when dealing with the IRA and other Terrorist groups.
The Clinton and Obama Administrations have tried to treat it as a Criminal Matter and the Bush Administration tried to approach it from a "War" perspective.
Which is the better way is in itself a real argument that is being thrashed around as well.
An example, we have approximately forty Terrorists convicted of Federal Crimes who are living out Life Sentences in the Colorado Super Max Prison and we have others who have not been prosecuted in a Criminal Court who are being held in Guantanamo Bay with Indefinite Status.
The End Result is pretty much the same. The Bad Guys are not going anywhere soon and most will never go any where but to the Prison Cemetery.
