(8,361 posts)objectors and others who suffered at the hands of Hitler's regime when you compare the indefinite detainment of people who were often IN THE ACT of fighting against U.S. forces in Afghanistan after 9/11. Most of the ones who had been rounded up and found to have no real connection to al queda were released. Some, when they were released joined terror organizations. Most did not.
The ones left are the most problematic of the 9/11 planners and other key al queda figures. I can declare our way of handling them to be absolutely an abomination and having nothing to do with what Americans have stood for in the past and also say it in no way compares to the rounding up of millions of innocents to die in labor camps through disease, exaustion, starvation, and gas chambers.
