You probably make a decent point.
Do you know if they are still transferring prisoners to Guantanamo or are most of the terrorist inmates from the early days of the Afghanistan campaign?
I think they’re all from the early days. Too controversial to send any new ones there now. The new ones just get interrogated and “tortured” in “secret CIA prisons” in other locations. Which is how it should be, but when we first went into Afghanistan, the numbers were just too large to deal with that way, plus it took a while to sort out the hard core jihadists and the confused young kids who’d been shoved in there with tales of glory for Allah. And some of the confused young kids did have a bit of useful intelligence that needed to be extracted before sending them home with their tails between their legs.
I just know I’m a lot more comfortable with most of these guys being in the hands of their own governments, than being in the US with the ACLU idiots knocking themselves out to get them let loose on our streets. I know which one will cost me more money, and the cases of those from countries like Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Egypt, the risk of their perpetrating terrorist acts is a whole smaller if they’re over there. Even the ones from places like Iran and Syria are probably no more likely to perpetrate terrorists acts if they’re sent home, than if they come here and end up running loose due to the efforts of the ACLU types, and at least our taxpayer-funded court system wouldn’t be getting clogged up by them.
