75% of America wants to keep innocent men locked up

[SpidermanTuba]

I anxiously await your proof of their crimes.

no really....what uniform were these folks wearing and what country were they fighting for......

That is an excellent question!

It is exactly what should be asked.

And that is why we have trials. With a trial, the uniform they were wearing (or lack of one) and whether they were fighting is proved by the Govt. And if the proof satisfies a jury, then the appropriate punishment is applied.

That's the way it works, see? It's great. That way, we don't have to wonder if people we locked up were wearing uniforms or whether they were fighting or not.

At the very least there needs to be a hearing to determine the status of said prisoners, not necessarily a full trial. For the vast majority of Gitmo prisoners, this never happened. Most prisoners there have never had the chance to confront any evidence against them.

Evidence for trial can come in a number of forms, including testimony, photographs, documents, etc.
