You dont see them showing any shame when they commmit a crime. You dont see those terrorists show one blink of emotions when they harm innocent people. So they dont deserve ANY rights.

You think about this though. If they come into our prisons on US soil.....do you really expect them to make it? One of these prisoners here will kill them without hesitation.

I disagree with what you, two major points.
1) What makes us better than terrorists if we choose to ignore laws and ethical behavior to exact our revenge? Yes they are wrong... but why do we have to wrong them back. "An eye for an eye will leave the world blind."

2) You assume all of them are "terrorists" or have harmed people. In fact, of the approximately 760 detainees held in gitmo since 2002, only 10 had charges filed against them. Most were completely innocent and denied due process of law or minimum ethical treatment for prisoners.
