    That Bush isn't Hitler doesn't mean that his camps aren't similar to Hitler's.
    FYI similar is similar, not equal.

    Anyway, good to know that America is removing this ugly stain from it's gray west.

    It's vest, isn't it?

    True, but they each have completely different goals, which makes any comparison irrelevant.

    Not true, it might have been true if you'd said methods but then you'd be.

    Illegal detention and torture seem to be quite similar to me. Mind you if I was in charge I'd have done the same and then killed them so hey ho.

    Now what was that reason we invented the legal system again...?
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    To ensure the people sent to these camps are the right ones?

    Aha!

    And with your "kill them all" attitude; would innocent people get killed as well?

    If the answer is yes; isn't that a rather silly thing?

    Obviously not as my government would be infallible.

    But anyone found commiting or planning to commit terrorist acts against my country would be detained, information about terrorsist activities extracted and then would be quietly disposed of. Tbh I can't see any other way of eradicating fanatics that doesn't involve global war.
