Well, first of all, they're being tried in American civilian courts and as everyone knows, most people involved with law (lawyers/judges) tend to be liberal so they're going to get a very fair trial.


I do agree that 5 years is too long, but I tend to have more sympathy since I know how difficult it is on the battlefield to discern between the insurgents and the non-combatants.


Lastly, they are being given very generous humanitarian protections -- the Red Cross has permanent on site advisors there who watch every move. A friend of mine (Navy SWO) was stationed at Gitmo before they converted it into a military detention center and he said that the food the inmates there get today is better than when he was there in the 90s.
