And then he does, and the media makes a big deal out of it and people cry out "never again", "how did we not see this coming?", "whos accountable?".

Setting them free and closing the illegal prison is the right thing to do. If I was calling the shots I would close it and release them.

I just see why they haven't done it yet. It's a quagmire, with extreme consequences. Sure, let a prison full of "suspected terrorists" out into the world, what could go wrong?

How nice would it be to live in a world where we all trust each other and enjoy peace and harmony?
