See text below.
-The detainees at Guantanamo Bay are not criminal defendants. They are enemy combatants in the midst of a war against the United States using the courts of the United States as a weapon against the people of the United States whom they are trying to kill,.

-The U.S. military's "detention of enemy combatants is not criminal in nature," says Pentagon press officer Commander Flex Plexico, "but to prevent them from continuing to fight against the United States in the War on Terrorism...as well as to gather intelligence to thwart further terrorist assaults."

-"Many of these enemy combatants are highly trained, dangerous members of al-Qaida, its related terrorist networks, and the former Taliban regime," asserts a Pentagon paper that was declassified last March 4. "Our intelligence and law enforcement communities develop leads, comprehensive assessments, and intelligence products based on information detainees provide. The information includes...plans for attacking the United States and other countries."

-"Some detainees served as trainers in al-Qaida training camps," the document continues, "significant among these are the detainees that served as explosives trainers."

-Some 12 released detainees have resumed terrorist attacks, murdered an Afghan judge, and shot at U.S. and coalition forces.

-No one reaches Gitmo without permeating the Pentagon's multi-layered screening system for distinguishing likely terror suspects from disoriented Islamic pilgrims. While imperfect, it also is no drift net. It is safe to say that nearly every Guantanamo detainee is there for behaving badly. Much of the information on specific detainees remains classified.
