"We will look you up on the Internet,” the prisoners said. “We will find you and slaughter you and your family in your homes at night. We will cut your throats like sheep. We will drink the blood of the infidel.”
There should be no Gitmo, and no prisoners. All of these fiends should have been executed outright.
Thhere is no reason to keep them after they have told their tale...they will never change, or "rehabilitate"...they are "rabid" and the only cure for that is ....?
What about those we have admitted were wrongly imprisoned--those who were nabbed in a dragnet and were in the wrong place at the wrong time (e.g., taxi driver) or were turned in by dishonest informants? Are you aware that we have released dozens of detainees?
Would you really have liked the execution of innocents?
Strategic intelligence, the kind that we continue to collect at Gitmo, however, seems to have a much longer shelf life. Today’s interrogators are succeeding at mapping out the complex organizational and financial structure of al-Qaeda in increasing detail, thereby uncovering networks that need to be attacked and dismantled. They are uncovering new “sleeper” cells. They are learning of temporarily shelved plans for new terrorist attacks, some of which have subsequently been thwarted by law enforcement authorities in America and Europe.So the good feeling of killing them all instead of capturing them is worth the loss of strategic intelligence? I'm not sure I agree with that cost/benefit analysis, if this article is correct.
