Meanwhile, Arizona Republican Senator John McCain spoke out on Guantanamo as well on an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press. Arguing that “even Adolf Eichmann got a trial,'’ McCain called on the Bush administration to create a system of fast and fair trials for those imprisoned there. He said that the detainees “deserve to have some adjudication of their cases,” despite what McCain called a fear that, if you release them, they'll go back and fight against the US. McCain said, “Balance that against what it’s doing to our reputation throughout the world and whether it’s enhancing recruiting for people to join al-Qaeda and do bad things to the United States of America.’’
