2. What will Americans say when this shit happens to AMERICANS?
What will Americans say when AMERICAN sons & daughters are locked away, no due process, innocent of any crime?

What will Americans say when AMERICAN sons & daughters are beaten with metal pipes until their legs are pulp and they die of massive injuries?

What will Americans say when AMERICAN sons & daughters are raped, tortured, sexually humiliated, terrorized with German Shepherd dogs...murdered?

What will Americans say when AMERICAN sons & daughters face the same treatment America is meting out now to other nations' innocent sons and daughters?

5. An uproar will ensue, but you're right. No one thinks of
these victims as human who very possibly did nothing wrong other than to get snagged by the US. :grr:

7. 80% of Gitmo Gulag POWs did NOTHING.
NOTHING against the USA.

Many were never even in Afghanistan.

80% DID NOTHING; wrong place, wrong time.

8. they'll probably say what they've been brainwashed to think
that if an American is locked away and treated like this, they must have deserved it.

that it would never happen to people who are innocent.

that it would never happen to "my family".

Heck, we already have Americans who are jailed indefinitely without charge, may be tortured, are not given legal representation... it may already be happening, and those brainwashed by the propaganda continue to make excuses and act like there is nothing wrong with it.
