Many of detainees in Guantanamo Bay, might be innocent

When there is a talk about the US hostagees in Tehran during the invasion of the US embassy in Tehran, many count the number of days those hostages spent in captivity and many speak of compansation for them.

In a few month the datainees in Guantanamo Bay will "celebrate" their second year in captivity. It is rightly prosumed that many of the detainees might be innocent and should be freed. After about two years, the US is now talking about bringing them to trial, what kind of trial (fairt or not) it would be, is not being discussed here, but it is at least called trial.

I wonder if those who were really concerned about the rights of about 50 US hostages being denied for over 400 days, were so kind to be upset about that, why their "kindness" does not apply to about 600 detainees who have spent about 600 days (and counting) in captivity! Is it because they believe the Americans are more important than the non-Americans? It is a shem to think so, but it is more shameful to hide it if they believe so.

NY Times writes it this way: "The detainees held in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, on suspicion of involvement in terrorism have been in custody so long it may seem that they have been found guilty of something."

And .."The military tribunal rules also contain restrictions on lawyers that will make it difficult, if not impossible, for them to mount effective defenses." ...and .."The Bush administration has already denied each of the Guantánamo detainees one basic right guaranteed in the civilian justice system: a speedy trial. Now it appears determined to deny many more."
