You seem reasonable and have some salient points. Let me address them:
1. I am sure everyone they would like to keep incarcerated in this new building is of fine moral character and it is an injustice to put people so close to sainthood in jail. What kind of individuals do you think the government would build this facility for? Do you really believe that the US government is incarcerates people because they got nothing better to do?
2. Your scenerio of incarceration in a foreign country could happen if I was in many other second and third world countries and some first world countries. If anything, most of the prisoners are treated better than they would be by their own governments. Certainly better treatment than I would if I was in one of their prisons. Don't forget they have the media on their side because if it bleeds, it leads. Too bad the media does not delve what happens to prisoners and hostages of the terrorists in the detail they do the "torture" at the hands of the American captors. Why is it so hard to show the deaths and decapitation of Amercian and foreign citizens on TV during the nightly news? It's not like I have not seen two million murders on telvision by this point deemed as entertainment on primetime so what is a few rolling heads of real people to the total?
3. The US has set the bar of being just far higher than any other country on the planet. It is time of the others countries of the world to play catch up and stop pretending they are on the moral high ground.
