Comment: Disappointing

“These thugs should stand before military tribunals and be kept off American soil." - Rand.

Here's the problem: the people being detained at Guantanamo Bay may very well be completely innocent. We don't know because they're denied due process, habeas corpus, and the right to defend oneself against their accusers. We do know that the process by which many were brought to Guantanamo Bay is flawed. The US military offered rewards for bringing in terrorists, but what would stop somene from kidnapping an innocent man and telling the US military that they are a terrorist? What would Rand Paul tell an innocent goat herder or farmer who has been rotting in Guantanamo Bay for the last 8-9 years? Good luck at the Military tribunal? This is a violation of basic human rights. Rand is definitely a Neocon on this issue. And I think this will really hurt his chances of pol;itical success because the neocon philosophy of "giving up liberty for security" is ver, very unpopular.
