    Not very often they just blow themselves up without taking others. Sure would be nice if they could do this a little more often.

    This is why Gstring wants them released & gitmo shut, so they can do what the do best.

    That's good news, it will distress some though, wheres Gstring?

    I know you wouldn't go to Afghanistan fighting for the taliban though, to do that you have to already be aligned with them to do such a thing.

    Hummm... So when they are free, their family, life or freedom becomes absolutely nothing and they choose the same path they were suspected to follow.. Explains the mentality....

    So revenge is good when it is done against America and bad when done against Muslims... Ohh cool...

    Try to put yourself in the place of someone who is imprisoned and held for years without a trial, what would you do?

    How would you feel, how would you view your captors?

    He said nothing about revenge against America, don't put words in his mouth. If you have an issue with Muslims, that is your deal, don't put that on someone else.

    He approves the action taken by freed inmates..Or you are saying that the action wasn't a revenge?
    I'd hate them for sure..
    But I will try to live every second with my family and beloved ones for rest of the life.
    And I'll try to work and raise voice for other victims as much as I can do in a peaceful way.

    But I wouldn't kill anyone, because I was not a killer, I'm not a killer so I wont be a killer.
    I'd try to follow the ways Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela had followed.

    But thats just me.. because I'm not a terrorist...

    I'm more inclined to the way of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose myself.

    That would be fine, as long as you are not inclined to kill non-combatant people.

    If you believe that you are fighting for freedom of your nation, you have all the rights to do so. But then fight against armed forces.. Do not kidnap and kill engineers.

    Hmmm... there has been an underlying assumption in many of these posts that people sent to Guantanamo where 'innocent', but became so enraged at their unjust imprisonment that they subsequently took up arms.

    Weeell... based on the stories of some of the UK 'citizens' who where caught up in Gitmo, may I suggest that many of these prisoners had already taken up arms - or where attempting to - and got caught ? So the fact that they subsequently where found to have taken up arms is hardly a suprise... it merely indicates that the Gitmo regime wasn't a tough enough deterrent.

    It depends, if you were to buy the wrong brand of crisps or if you brought goods that were made in china, i have heard they put up in gitmo, that's what many sympathizers would have people believe.
