So somebody who hates U.S. culture may be an 'Al Quaeda sympathizer' but is that person a terrorist?
What it all means is that we have lots of people imprisoned because of their thoughts; not their actions.

I was under the impression that most of these folks held at Gitmo were Arabs rolled up when the Taliban was defeated in Afganistan?
What were they doing there, taking in the bracing climate?
I do not give a f#&k whether or not Al Queada gives out I.D. cards and has a secret hand-shake. ANYONE supporting that organization - operationally or financially should be a target.
