These are the footsoldiers of an organised racket of Gulf States, Underground financers, Extremists Gangs fighting in the name of Islam.They are the Civil faces...posing as Journalists,Lawyers, Propagandist and so Called Human Right Activists.
I think the prisoners at Guantanamo are enemy of the mankind...who mercilessly ran their agenda of killing people, beheading people in the open, killing women, making them slaves...these prisoners should be treated l;ike Dogs...tortured and killed in the most cruel manner...to show the Talibans...what is waiting for them.
