    Matt and others - It must be nice to live in your world where everything is black and white and if you are nice to someone they are nice to you.  Please, will you share the KoolAid?

    You guys can keep talking about human rights for terrorists, but when the nukes start flying remember you were warned.  Now we have N. Korea in the mix, too.  They starve their own people in order to build their military.  Do you think they would follow the rules that you put out there?  Go read your history books and see who wins the wars - the good and sweet people or the strong.  It would be nice to be both but in today's world it can't happen.  I vote for being strong and keeping the life style we have built for ourselves.  I am sorry you refuse to see the truth.  I hope your closed mindedness, doesn't result in all of us being too weak to respond when the time comes.

    Barbara - I didn't know about the 13 year old boy and a 94 year old man, but in the world of terrorists they could easily be the number 1 and number 2 people in their group.  Once again, you must realize these are terrorists, they are not like us, they will use children and old men (and women) as suicide bombers.  The only thing we are guilty of is not getting Bin Laden when we had the chance.  Shame on Clinton for turning it down and shame on all of us for not being wiser than we are.  Again you mention our constitution - that protects us, as citizens.  It does NOT protect terrorists.  They do not deserve the same rights as Americans.

    Jenna, I like the way you think!  The terrorists are not like us and do not have the same values, morals and ethics.  They hate Americans for who and what we are and treating them as anything but terrorists will only get us killed. 

    Barbara - the prisoners in Guantanamo are all terrorists.  They were not rounded up and assumed guilty, they are guilty.  They do not need to go through our court system because they are not citizens and they do not have the same rights we do.  That doesn't make us guilty of tyrrany, it makes us smart and alive. 

    And Mary our constitution refers to our citizens, not terrorists.  This is a war, and according to the Geneva convention, in order to be subject to the rights granted by the convention the offenders must be wearing a uniform.  Did you see any terrorists in their country's uniforms?  No, because it wasn't their Army that killed 3,000 Americans, it was a bunch of terrorists. 

    People get smart.  Jenna was right when she said they want to hurt you and your family.  Keeping us strong will keep us safe and if that means we have to be "mean" to a terrorist to get important information from them then so be it.  Be nice to the homeless people in our cities; be tough on terrorists.

    These terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 Americans.  How can you compare them to serial killers?  These people have no respect for human life -not theirs and certainly not ours.  And why does it matter what the rest of the world thinks about how we treat terrorists and where they are kept?  It seems to me that your loyalties are misguided - protect our nation and its people first.  Worry about the others later.  They wouldn't jump to save us before themselves so why should we?
