Completely innocent was too strong a phrase for me to use, but we have already read reports of some of these detainees being arrested in Afghanistan on bogus tips. This is the guy who won his case against the Bush administration:

EXCLUSIVE: Recently Released Gitmo Detainee Talks to ABC News

The 43-year-old Algerian is now back with his wife and two daughters, a free man in France after a Republican judge found the evidence against Boumediene lacking. He is best known from the landmark Supreme Court case last year, Boumediene v. Bush, which said detainees have the right to challenge their detention in court.

That decision was a stunning rebuke of the Bush administration's policies on terror suspects. It set up a ruling by District Court Judge Richard Leon, a former counsel to Republicans in Congress appointed to the bench by Bush, that there was no credible evidence to keep Boumediene detained.


Is he completely innocent? Maybe not, but that's a judge appointed by Bush telling the U.S. government they didn't have enough evidence even for a trial. If this judge had not released him, after 8 years at Gitmo with no charges brought, who would have?
