How is it legal for the United States to hold suspects for three years in Guantanamo Bay without being charged with any crime/offense/violation? I mean, what’s going on here, are they being held because the U.S.A military doesn’t like their body odor or what?

1.Because it’s not against any law
2. Because UN is a joke
3. Because they are terrorists and terrorists are not covered under Geneva convention
According to international law, it is illegal. You better hope that US troops don’t need to invoke the geneva convention anytime soon.
Ask Cheney & his cronies. Who are the real terrorists?
It isn’t. They are nothing more than political prisoners.
I don’t understand it either. We are being hypocritical by telling other countries they can’t do the same thing we’re doing now.
Having said that, I wonder how many terrorist plots were prevented because some of the perpetrators are being held in Guantanamo Bay.
I just wish there was a way to prove beyond a doubt which suspects are guilty.
It’s not legal. It’s a terrifying violation of basic human rights (as protected by the US Constitution) and international law (the Geneva Convention of 1949.)
