We, the American public, don't know a thing about the actual guilt or innocence of the people at Gitmo. FWIW, 202 Guantanamo Bay detainees have been returned to their homelands. Of that group, 146 were freed outright, and 56 were transferred to the custody of their home governments. Of this total number, 10 were known to have (re)joined terrorist groups. It's a decidedly sticky wicket.

BTW, here's the record of military tribunals at Gitmo:

Three cases had been commenced in the new system, as of June 13, 2007. One detainee, David Matthew Hicks plea bargained and was sent to Australia to serve a nine-month sentence. Two cases were dismissed without prejudice because the tribunal believed that the men charged had not been properly determined to be persons within the commission's jurisdiction on June 4, 2007.

Nobody really cares what you think.

Heck if the left bought FDRs 'can't live at peace alone' thing after running for REELECTION on an isolationist platform, Obama should be easy

Don't mind me, just stirring the pot lol.
