Okay. Who's being put in Guantanamo Bay? People who want to kill American citizens. War combatants. People who, according to the Geneva Conventions, we would be well within our rights to kill on the battlefield.

We treat them well. They have their own prayer rugs. They have their own U.S.-issued Koran. They get their prayer times, three meals a day, and ample sleep.

The only reason we're discussing this is because the mainstream media's hate for the Bush administration. Complaints come out of Gitmo every day - what else would you expect from prisoners? Compliments?

And who rushes to believe the prisoners? ABC. NBC. CBS. MSNBC. CNN.

Koran in the toilet story - turned out not to be true. We all read it in newspapers and saw it on TV. Who among us saw the correction on that one?

Scant few, I reckon.

So we have media outlets rushing to give the terrorists credibility - yet who believes our American soldiers who keep the order there?

Well, the American people. People like me. People who think that it's insane that we should give terrorists the right to a trial in the U.S. court system.

And we have to defend ourselves on liberal Web sites like this one.

I'm sorry. They were on the battlefield of the War on Terror, and they were caught trying to kill Americans. They are NOT citizens of this country. They are NOT fellow Americans. They are NOT innocent until proven guilty. Heck, they are not even civil people.

That, my friends, is why we should NOT take away Guantanamo Bay - a military prison that helps keep America safe from its enemies.

Sad we even have to have this discussion.

God bless America.
