The hell are you talking about? I must have missed this.

Who said it was illegal? Who says that 10% were or werent terrorists. These arent "innocent people" just dragged off the streets. There is a reason that they are there. Acting as if we are the bad guys is wrong. Guantanamo was and is not a secret prison. Our moral standing? Whose morals are you using as a baseline? As you can see, the moral standing that the prisoners in that prison follow is a not exactly a high standard.
I hate to inform you of this but our morals, standards and rule of law are way higher than the vast majority of the world and laughingly high as compared to our enemies. The problem that you and the ACLU crowd seem to forget is that these people are not Americans nor were taken from American soil and as such arent and shouldnt be covered by domestic laws.
The thought that there are a bunch of railroaded innocents there is crazy.
