Dont forget the guys in Guantanamo who were scooped up by Afghan tribesmen when word got out that the Americans were paying cash for "al Qaeda members". It seems there was a fair bit of score settling and just outright fraud that went on with the result that there are an unknown number of just plain innocent people locked up and seriously mistreated.
This is exactly why we are supposed to have due process. This is exactly why in America people are supposed to be allowed to go before a judge and protest their innocence. Because some of them actually ARE innocent. As for the truly bad guys, sure, lock them up, but what did they think was going to happen when they starting offering dirt poor people thousands of dollars in return for live bodies? They went and found some live bodies!
