There are good and legitmate reasons for having these guys twisting in the wind, so to speak.
And probably no one thought a new “president” would come along and just let them go.

No one ever thought that a Muslim would ever be President.

Yes, that's probably true. But the Bush administration also missed a great chance to turn the tables on the bleeding hearts who wail about the need for extending American rules of justice to the Gitmo terrorists. How so? One of the basic rules of American justice is the right to a speedy trial. If Bush had expedited the trials of a few of the major terrorists, he could have answered criticisms that the trials were being pushed too quickly by pointing out that he was simply giving the terrorist the American right to a speedy trial. A missed opportunity, in my view.
