This would be a total waste of time and money if everyone at Gitmo was guilty, but knowing that almost all of them are probably innocent, the victims of indiscriminate sweeps and the “bounty system” that the US used, makes it criminal.

We didn’t treat Nazis like this in World War II.

If they wonder why we can’t get better intelligence, it’s because the policies in place, make it a fate worse than death to surrender or cooperate. The final weeks in Germany were marked by mass surrenders, because the enemy knew they would be treated fairly. The Malmedy massacre meant that no allied unit would surrender to the German army, but would fight to the death, because death was all that awaited them.

The net net is that both of these poor bastards are still in Gitmo. I know there was a reason I promised Mendel Rivers my firstborn If I could not go to Gitmo. For you young ones Mr. Rivers was on the Armed Services Committee back in the early 70’s and was the target you used if there was something the military was going to do to you that you didn’t think was cool.
He got my orders to Gitmo cancelled and new orders to Hawaii cut…thank you very much.

back on topic…I fear that these guys are going to be stuck here forever. Innocent or guilty they will not get a fair hearing.
