I dont believe the end ever justifies the means. Most of our "guests" at Guantanamo Bay were caught in the act of shooting at our troops or placing/building roadside bombs. As enemy combatants, (whatever their afilliation or legality), They should face a military tribunal and if found guilty executed. If found not guilty returned to face charges in their country of origin. As they were not accused of breaking U.S. law on U.S. soil no civilian court has jurisdiction. Those who are not U.S. Citizens are NOT! afforded ANY protection by the U.S. Constitution other than that which governs the operation of our government. Indefinately detaining anyone without charges especially since it had become obvious we will get no usefull information from these guys, Is not part of the constitutional operation of our government. Since these guys will return to blowing themselves up if released, tribunal then execution is the only way, and what would have happened by now by combatants detained historically. In the last few wars we kept live prisoners to exchange with other civilized countries, as they were pressed solders fighting under the instruction and direction of their rulers and held no individual animosity. As these guys have individually chosen to take up arms against us, (and mostly inocent bystanders), they are guilty of a criminal act and should be imediately executed. Just my .02c
