Definition of Terrorist

terrorist

a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities

This is what a terrorist is. And to add to this you need to consider those who PRETEND to be dead until an American soldier(s) get close enough to them then they reveal their bomb, grenade or what have you, and try to kill as many American soldiers as they can.

Now some seem to think that it's wrong to hold people in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. What you need to realize is our government isnt going around just picking people up anywhere and putting them there. The people being held are suspected of being terrorists or having terrorist ties. Once proven otherwise they are released.
Something else that needs to be corrected is this notion that they are innocent until proven guilty. That is not true. That rule or law only applies to AMERICANS in AMERICA. These suspects arent being held in America, they are in Cuba so are not protected by our Constitution. Beyond that, there is no established law or body, other than the United Nations, that protects terrorists and terrorism. They are not seen as being human by any law and that is how it should be.
