[QUOTE]Originally posted by Grokca: [QB] I know this is an old thread but I thought this article was very interesting http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A33209-2002Mar28.html It seems that the US administration does not even know who they have detained in Cuba. [QUOTE]U.S. officials say privately that they expect only a small number of them will face charges before the tribunals; a larger number, they say, are likely to be detained indefinitely without being charged. That is because U.S. officials are having trouble obtaining information about the detainees, and most are turning out to be low-ranking fighters. [/QUOTE]And they are planning on keeping these people captive until the war on terrorism is completed. I would think that that will never happen and these people will ber stuck there forever. In order to keep them though they have to be at war with them, which means they are pow's but the bush admin won't admit they are pow's. Must be nice to have your cake and eat it too. [QUOTE] "It might not be possible to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that an individual committed a particular crime," Rumsfeld said. "He may be guilty of other crimes." [/QUOTE]Like kidnapping? I sure am glad we don't have your system of law in our country, what is this we just hold them until we can find some law that they broke. Guilty until we find a law, or make one, that you broke.
