Would you consider Gitmo a civil rights case?

Because the prisoners now are like... i don;t know how to say it. They are considered lower than low, but should still have rights in some people's eyes? or they should be able to prove themselves. Tell me what you think.!!! :) thanks!Would you consider Gitmo a civil rights case?
No, because they are not American citizens,they are prisoners of war and should be judged accordingly by military tribunalsWould you consider Gitmo a civil rights case?
';Consider'; doesn't belong in your question.


OBJECTIVELY it is clearly not a civil rights issue.


It houses people declared by international conventions to be absolutely subject to our will having acted in such a way as to forfeit even their right to live. That we haven;t executed them is simply a matter of our generosity. Moreover, we've seen fit to extend to them POW status except in name.


You don't ';try'; POWs because they aren't criminals. You simply keep them detained and out of the conflict.


A minority of the GITMO detainees ARE being treated as war criminals, 'cause they manifestly ARE. The rest, although we legally could execute them, or do literally ANYTHING we can imagine, are being treated as if they were captured legitimate enemy soldiers, not the unlawful combatants they actually are.
The writ of habeas corpus is a fundamental and universal right that everyone has. It is also an American value and one the fundamental pillars of liberty.





I can't comprehend how someone could support the idea that the President has the authority to abduct a person from one country, place them in another country and never try them, even up to 6 and 1/2 years. If you are going to incarcerate someone, then they have the right to have charges brought against them and be tried in a court of law. Claiming that they are terrorists without bringing charges against them or trying them is arbitrary state action. In fact was recently released after 6 1/2 years of imprisonment without ever being tried while be subject to over 200 interrogation sessions.





The Supreme Court has upheld that habeas corpus for Gitmo detainees since it is the backbone of American values and liberty. Alexander Hamilton declared habeas corpus a 'bulwark' of individual liberty, calling secret imprisonment the most 'dangerous engine of arbitrary government.'';
The people there are there for a reason. They are terrorist. It would be much easier in my mind to prove that terrorist are lower than human and unworthy of any rights than to prove that Gitmo in some way violates some rights.





It it would make it easier for you to wrap your mind around look at it this way. These fornicators of goats come from a land where people still live in tribes and they will kill a woman for riding in a car with a man who is not her brother or husband. They had never heard of comprehended the concept of civil rights.





Have a nice day.

Every single human on the planet deserves the same rights. Every person incarcerated in any prison deserves to be properly charged, represented by an attorney, and given a fair trial.





Plus: aside from the issue of basic human rights, there are surely people mistakenly imprisoned at ';Gitmo'; who are not actually terrorists. There is plenty of racial profiling going on these days...
They are not American citizens, they tried to destroy America, they deserve nothing! I agree with one of the answers that said they should have been executed a long time ago.





Besides, considering where some of these people come from and how they live, Gitmo is a vacation for them!
No, it is a case of housing the worst of the worst terrorists. If it were up to me, they would all have been dead a long time ago.
Its a HUMAN RIGHTS CASE

Civil rights? Yeah, American citizens civil rights. They were collected on a battle field. They lost their rights when they took up arms to terrorize others.
every person should have some rights. even if they are sick, misguided, and made bad decisions, they are still people. i will never condone torture or ';enhanced interrogation';.
Military tribunals to determine guilt or innocence, not the US court system, please, and keep them in Gitmo, not the USA.
No. Terrorists have NO civil rights other than the right to be tried, found guilty, and executed.
They have the right to answer or die. Answer then die.


What rights should they have?


You know I heard rumors they do not even get Star F u c k s to drink.
Why show any mercy to them when they sure didn't show mercy to anyone?
I have a better idea to solve the Gitmo Issue once and for all,Use it as a Target Range for Naval Artillery.
