You're assuming everyone held at Gitmo is guilty.

Based on the fairly large number released, that's unlikely.

I trust the military to make battlefield decisions, not liberal judges.

Not necessarily ... remember, war is not a law enforcement exercise. You capture enemy combatants, remove them from the field of combat, and determine if they have any intelligence value. Once drained, if they are not major players and there are no war-crime level charges to be made, you either hold them in camps until the end of hostilities (a la Stalag-17) or release them. In the current asymmetrical warfare scenario the former is not really feasible so you do a slow catch-and-release. Hopefully, you do some psyops work and hint that some of the released ones are "turned" so that they will never be trusted again.

to the contrary, the few which are released are typically found again, back on the battlefield.
