We should require that the case against them be presented to an independent court, not a scenario where no proof or evidence is required for these people to be held for years without being charged.

That is something that we have to grapple with, and something that is more complex than the knee-jerk responses, whether they are "screw the terrorists. They have no rights" or "We have to release all prisoners"
We have to look at the new war, whether it is a self-fulfilling prophecy or not, and see whether the guys imprisoned could save lives, but we also need to keep our humanity and our eyes on the moral. Torture and improper imprisonment are never moral.
to tell you the truth, Im just as disgusted with those that are saying "who cares?" as I am with those that are spouting the obvious moral fact. It ain't that simple.
