The Face of The Enemy

Sheikh Muhammad Mahdi 'Akef, an Egyptian who is the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood movement
Dr. Hassan Huweidi, his deputy in Syria
Muhammad Habib, his deputy in Egypt
Isam Al-'Attar, former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, who resides in Germany after having fled Syria
Sheikh Dr. Yousef Al-Qaradhawi, head of the newly-established (in July) London-based International Council of Muslim Clerics and head of the European Committee for Religious Law
Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, Secretary-General of the Al-Jama'a Al-Islamiyya in Lebanon and spiritual leader of the Union of Islamic Organizations in France
Sheikh Muhammad Al-Jouzo, the Mufti of Mount Lebanon
Khaled Mash'al, head of the political bureau of Hamas
Dr. Ramadhan Abdallah Shallah, Secretary-General of Palestinian Islamic Jihad
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hizbullah

These men, many living in European nations, all recently signed a letter expressing solidarity with the Iraqi fighters, and calling for Muslims to join in the fight against the U.S. Can anyone tell me why they are still walking free on the face of this Earth? Wouldn't a nice tropical vacation at Guantanamo Bay be a welcome respite from exhorting young Muslim men to join with their brothers in Iraq, Beslan and other soon to be announced locations? The Constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech should not be interpreted to allow espousal of armed agression against the United States or her allies in time of war. It should be explicitly understood by those who publicly espouse terrorism that it is a quick ticket to the East end of Friendly Fidel's paradise in the Caribbean.
