Someone brought that up yesterday. My point was, what threat could be so horrible that it would prompt the release of Gitmo folks?

I'm pretty sure this is not connected to the release of the Gitmo folks. Way back in the summer, representatives of certain countries went to the base to interview various people we had decided were not of interest to us and could be returned to their countries or some other country willing to take them. I think even France had somebody they wanted released.

The Pakistanis had a little list, if I recall, but I don't think we released all of the ones they wanted, only the ones who we had determined were just there getting free meals and hospitality services...

Maybe we wanted to make room for new "guests"?

See how people think when they shoot a few 9 year old school kids in the stomach.
