>A judge ruled there wasn't enough - that is true. Looking at the facts, I doubt he was innocent...there just wasn't enough to convict him. However, it's entirely possible that we gained information. So I'm not very sympathetic. And I'm far more concerned about people we release right back onto the battlefield. While the numbers are in dispute, even those who favored shutting down Gitmo Bay have acknowledged this fact.
How can you know what the facts are? The U.S. government says it has a reliable source that makes a claim, and therefore it's a fact?
If we were to use that standard, there would be no need for trials.
So far as people being released back to the battlefield, if any country holds me for 7 years, without charge, and subjects me to torture, I'm going to have a bit of an attitude when I get released.
