Gitmo Prisoners Haven't Been Tried Yet, Correct?
Yes or no will suffice.

I believe it is no... right?

4. Can you document that?
Not being confrontational. I think this topic is a good question.

2. They haven't even been CHARGED
with a crime. So, how could they be tried?

6. The tribunals were to determine if....
a person met whatever requirements were established to be classified as a 'legal combatant', which I think is a term they manufactured. When the FOIA documents came out I reviewed one case. Whatever evidence that led the tribunal to determine the mans status was 'classified'. There was zero un-classified information to warrant his imprisonment. It appears that if you were anywhere around the Middle-East after 9/11 you would have a shot at a one way ticket to Gitmo.

3. They were never arrested. They were captured in another country.
