The doing of bad things is in no way contradictory with being a democratic republic so I have no problem keeping the label.
GD, I don't disagree that the government is trying have its cake and eat it to. I was only sharing how
I view the people at Guantanamo. And by that perspective they should either have all been released a couple years ago regardless of how complicit they were with al Qaeda and the Taliban. Or, when the war was essentially over, they should have been converted from combatants to criminals and given due process. And since most of their criminal acts would have been in Afghanistan, they should be returned to Afghanistan for that due process.
