Too True...I know we suck at intelligence gathering based on progress at Gitmo, but I wish we could find some of the Talibunny sympathizers in that first alliance force that went into Tora Bora and let so many Al Qaeda slip away... Those people should be in Gitmo too. Although the Afghan version of prison is more Afghastly...I think this whole WAR needs to be totally united on both sides...if that means the Euroweenies and Qatar and Bahrain (much less Saudiland) can't see it in their hearts to see Iraqis and Palistinian terrorists lit up with Napalm...They are not our Allies and should not be dealt with as anything but Hostiles. Economic Ties can be renewed later...After the dusty debris of Iraq's pulverised military has stopped blocking the sun, for instance.
Hard to extract intel from Rags that know nothing.
Low level Humint isn't needed to target strategically.
If we really wanted to get answers from the Tallibunnys at Gitmo, we should import a few Mossad or Shin-bet interrogators.
Failing that, we should make a deal with Putin and lease one of the gulag camps in Siberia. I am sure there are some ex-KGB interrogators who would have them singing like canaries in very short order.
