I read stories like this and I come up against this concept.
We claim that our goal in Iraq (and Afghanistan) is to establish a stable democracy in the Middle East. Wouldn't it make sense, therefore, to show what a stable democracy does with felons and criminals? Innocent until proven guilty. Prove them guilty. I'd hope that we are waiting for Iraq (and Afghanistan) to be a place where a fair trial could take place more than we are just storing these people in a camp until they all die. That would only inflame hatred of us. If we give a sense that there will be a resolution for these people, it would be better than simply pretending like a group of people who have had their rights completely stripped of them, who may or may not be terrorists, don't exist.
