During WW1 and 2, many German and Italian POWs were held in the borders of the USA. The only reason the POWs of this ‘war’ were held in Cuba was to enable the “interrogation tactics” used without having to combat the courts within our borders and to avoid the Constitutionally designated rules for treatment and care of prisoners… speedy trial, self incrimination, etc etc.. It has been well established that some of the prisoners were victims of neighbors’ who simply disliked them. Some were guilty of attempting to join an anti gov’t/USA militia. A very small number of prisoners were actual combatants/criminals.People who believe that Ends justify the Means support and approve of what the US gov’t did in Guantanamo. People who support and approve of the Constitution above Ends/Means are heartsick and embarrassed by our gov’ts actions. And those Americans who consider themselves Christians should ask themselves how those involved/supportive will be judged after they have died.“If it cannot be done with honor, it should not be done; If it cannot be done with love, it cannot be done in the name of God.”Respectfully,C.
