An important movie..."The Road to Guantanamo".
Finally, a film that looks behind the scenes at Gitmo and uses clips of gwb and Rummy in disproving their assertions about the nature of the prisoners there and their treatment in the prison. Here's the official website. Check out the trailer.

It's not anywhere in the Denver metro area. I'll be lobbying my local indie theatre to get this on their screen.

I think on MSNBC (or CNN) one of the young men/former prisoners, and directore Michael Winterbottom during a very antagonistic interview on the part of the cute girl reporter said he felt both Bin Laden and Bush were both terrorist based on what happened to him. http://www.roadtoguantanamomovie.com/
I was almost going to start a thread about -if you agree that Bush is a terrorist, does that make you a terrorist suspect? Because I agreed pretty much with what he said.
Here is http://www.roadtoguantanamomovie.com/ a page for those who want to know and do more. http://www.witnesstorture.org/

Here is an MSNBC article on the movie. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13426947/ a good review. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/13/rasul/index.html Here is a CNN article/interview with a different guy. but I can't find the clip that I saw.

3. kind of a silly first post.
but I do think this thread should be kicked and recommended. the reviews are quite interesting.
You might want to do some thinking and come back with a more thoughtful comment.

6. I'd support them having a fair trial. You're sounding like you think the
only two choices are to keep them there or free them all....

They should be put on trial and the evidence against them presented in a judicial setting....

I'm thinking you're a fan of the phrase "cut and run".
