So, you have a problem with sending detainees back to their country of origin?
What are we supposed to do, put them in Witness Protection and provide them
with jobs and cars and houses?  If they are found to be innocent and are afraid
to go back, then they can apply for political asylum like anybody else.
Otherwise, back they go.  If they get zapped - too bad, so sad.

It goes back to the type of religion you're dealing with.  Islam is intolerant
of anything not of islam.  As revered as the Holy Bible is around the world, it
is still just a book, and I know of no other religion that is any different -
except for Islam.  Those people need to get some perspective and do some
growing up in that regard.  The ONLY reason they are raising such a hissy fit
is because they know we've got a bunch of weak-spined idiots over here who will
wring their hands and cry about how we've desecrated their damn book.  You
don't see them raising such a ruckus about the Israelis, do you?  That's
because they know the Israelis (who follow much the same rules as our troops at
Gitmo in handling prisoners) will kick their teeth in.
