You are talking about individuals who were either captured on the battlefield or rounded up in anti-terrorism raids around the globe. There have been some people who the U.S. military decided weren't a threat, and these people were released.
 
The point of the article seems to counter the claims that detainees are abused. It is not the fault of the gaurds that their country and superiors have assigned them to guard at gitmo. So if you were a guard in a prison and the prisoners threw human waste and urine at you, would you not issue a 'beat down'? I would.

To get you to think about the circumstance of the prisoners, and why they are as equally as justified in doing what they do (if indeed what has been alleged is true) by your logic:

I agree that the prisoners are frustrated, and behave accordingly.
My point is that the guards are not at fault, they are not the ones that put the detainees there. They are doing a job, guarding.
So when we hear, "detainees abused", why don't we hear "detainees abused for abusing guards"?

by 'you' i assume you mean muslims..Allah says in the Qur'an oppression is worse than slaughter..id rather a criminal killed me off straightaway than tortured me, raped me etc for an indefinite amount of time.
 
this thread is irrelevant and should be closed for its stupidity as the threads geronimofo always starts, you been captured, wihtout any proof of being attached to any terrorist groups, you havent even had a trial yet and your just sitting rotting for years, if this was me HELL YEA I WOULD ATTACK LIKE A WILD DOG!!!!! I think anyone would for being jailed without being proved guilty.
 
Any Muslim can be arrested and put in Guantanamo Bay and the whole world would only remember them as Al Qaida terrorists that got what they deserved and if the detainees some how managed from their little box cages to say how they feel about being locked up for four years without trial they'll get the **** beat out of them.
 
Apprently the self styled Judge Miss Searching Soul and her fellow Christian Keltoi, and Gerinimo and as well as our fellow Brit Manchester Folk..think its perfectly humane and just to hold people for years without them going through any due process of law..or even standing trial..the prisoners in Guantanamo are begging the authorities to take them to court and this has been denied.

Your post reads like a justificiation, which is ludicrous.

I'm tired of people cowering from the issue all the time and deflecting it. It's always someone else's fault. In this case, even if the detainees behaved as the article described, it doesn't justify issuing a 'beat down'. This sort of stuff can be dealt with in other ways that does not involve physically beating people. The moment you do that to your prisoner, you're no better than a Viet Cong warden.

As it is, I don't know who struck first. All I know is the situation down there is unaccaptable and needs to be dealt with without more detainees getting physically and psychologically tortured, and without more guards being attacked.

no you wouldnt behave like them if thats what they did...and you certainly wouldnt split their skulls in two like what happened to one of the released British captives...he was even called racist names...and he most certainly wasnt swinging big dollops of crap at the guards when that happened.
