There's a difference between terrorists and suspected terrorists, just as there is a difference between criminals and suspected criminals. I think we in the US have too much of a tendency of late to assume guilt in anyone suspected of a crime. This I don't like, and I don't think it's healthy.

Morally, I'm on similar ground to Horetore. I have serious issues with the way things have been run at Gitmo, and I think DC has best expressed the kinds of concerns I have. However, HT's arguments in this thread have been fairly sloppy, making statements he can't support and misconstruing what his opponents say.

That's a little better, since allowing a new one to replace it is basically the same as allowing it to be altered. The Declaration on Human Rights was written by fallible humans, and is certainly subject to error. While I might agree with you that the larger principle of universal rights is untouchable, I cannot agree about a specific document.
