Supreme Court rules in favor of Guantanamo Bay inmate

I was reading the BBC website about a story about the Supreme Court and a Guantanamo Bay inmate that has challenged why he has been held in Guantanamo Bay without a trial for so long, being classified as an “enemy combatant.”  Apparently this man has proven to the Supreme Court that he is NO an “enemy combatant” and the US is going to have to release him.  Of course, many people are upset about this; I happen to feel that these people should be given some kind of trial, not just thrown into what is essentially a prison of war camp.  I think it is shameful what the US has done during this war.  We CLAIM that we don’t use torture, but we all know torture is used.  Sometimes it is easy to understand how many people can hate the American country.

I think that hold these prisoners for so long at Guantanamo Bay is borderline criminal. I think that these people are not treated humanely, and I feel very badly that this has happened to them.
