In order to assume that only terrorists are being held at any of these bases you have to believe that the government is telling you the truth. Unfortunately, a fact the the goverment downplays all the time, is that most of the combatants in a given battlefield senario, are not terrorists. They are insurgents that don't want americans in thier country. People that lived there long before we showed up. These people are pissed because we destroyed their electricity and their ability to make it(to this day they have no electricity), We ruined all the drinking water and allow people like Halibuton to make billions importing bad water, And we shot off 2000 metric tons of Dirty bombs in our invasion. They see that Bush went in for one reason and is in there now for the 5th or 6th other reason. The Iraqi Government is still corrupt, has death squads, and we did nothing so far to help the iraqi people towards their freedom. These insurgence are the ones being caught on the battle field. How could these people possibly not deserve rights?
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour
