Do gitmo detainees belong here?[edit]

Do gitmo detainees belong here? I don't think so. None of them have been convicted through a fair trial. Four of them have been charged. But they aren't facing a real trial, let alone a fair trial.

Anyhow, the other 500 are accused of terrorism. But that doesn't mean they are terrorist, or that terrorism is the real reason they are being held. Maybe there should be a category, named "Prisoners accused of terrorism"?

Terrorism & Terrorist Tagging are POV & Subjective[edit]

Name of this category[edit]

I think this cat should be named "People imprisoned on terrorism charges" not "People imprisoned for terrorism" or somethingelse which avoid the POV issues relating to the term "terrorist" and "terrorism" - anyone agree or disagree.--Vintagekits 12:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, will renominate for deletion.GiollaUidir 23:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Vintagekits's name. Additionally, the only parent cat should be Category:Prisoners and detainees, not Category:Terrorists, because the fact that they were imprisoned on terrorism charges proves only that they were prisoners, not that they were terrorists.
