Holding prisoners for over a decade...

with no substantial evidence? What in God's name are we doing?
After the new "developments" that arose today, whether true or untrue, how is this justifiable?
Either we just let 5 top terrorists free, or we just imprison people for the hell of it, and successfully added 5 new terrorists to the mix who otherwise didn't have a problem with us until we threw them in jail for a decade. Either way you cook it it's fricked up.

If they were part of an attack on America, then I think they should be held
If they were part of an attack on another country, they should be turned over to that country
If they were just captured because they were associated with, but not part of an attack, they should be freed.

How do you release a POW for a war that can't be declared over, and therefore, will always have the risk of the POW resuming the war against us?

I hate taking prisoners period. Catch them, interrogate, slit throat.

So heres the question... What are the remaining people held for? Were they part of the planning/attack on 9/11 or were they captured in Afghanistan on the battlefield?

Those that were captured in Afghanistan, how do we know if they were just fighting a war of Afghanistan independence against us, or if they were part of the Afghanistan global terrorism against us?

And that goes back to my issue... Why do we have these people?
Theres two reasons why they could have been captured
1) Connected to 9/11 and we wanted them brought to justice
2) Were fighting against Afghan govt in civil war
If it is 1, then they should be tried for the murder of 2500 people on Sept 11th. If its 2, then they should be turned over to the afghanis as we were supposedly there supporting them.

I see nobody understands what my point. Let me break it down in simpler terms.
1. We've held these guys for 12 or so years.
2. We just released them.
3. Statements were released saying we were going to release them anyway because of lack of evidence (not saying this is true, but it's what was said)
So either we:
1. Released 5 legit terrorists
Or
2. Held 5 "prisoners" for over a decade with no substantial evidence.
It's not that complicated.

I guess this is one way to describe what happened in Afghanistan
Kinda
But not really

For those of us who were sent to war let me help some of you out. We are still engaged in the conflict and therefore don't need to be releasing anyone that can be found again on the battlefield. We have already seen that episode before and over the years many of their home countries won't take them back.

Then explain... Why should we capture and hold people that have not committed an act against the US?

Who's saying they should be released?

If you were wrongly convicted of a crime and sentenced to ten years in prison, upon release would you become a terrorist?
