The detainees at Guantanamo Bay have rights as a human being to be feed and clothed and given shelter. They have the right to worship without fear of retaliation. The have the right to have the red cross check and see if they are treated fairly. That is where their rights end as far as I am concerned. I don't think that it is our responsibility to provide them with Koran's and make sure that we hand it to them properly. They did not afford our hostages those same care and concerns. They do not have the right to an attorney that can smuggle messages out for them. Americans have the right to an attorney not terrorist. The detainees do not have the right to expect freedom in their lifetime if they were captured plotting destruction of Americans or the American way of life. Once again this is simple consequences of their actions. I understand that they probably thought that America would continue to allow them to attack us without retribution because it happen so very many times under the Clinton administration, however, people soon get wise and start to protect their own.
These people are evil and determine to destroy us completely. They are not just criminals that can possibly be rehabilitated if we just try hard enough. They clearly state that they are in a Holy War. They want us and Israel dead. They want to govern our land with Sharia Law. If that happens folks there will be no civil liberties or tree huggers or anything that the liberals so passionately embrace.
