Chief Chaos - I will attempt to answer your question.

Its not a matter of numbers. Its a matter of careful negotiation and planning by an international community.

Its a matter to be decided by skilled diplomacy not by a government that thinks they can, "go it alone" guided by God.

Its should not be decided by the captains of industry whose aim is primarily economic or a Commander in Chief who accepts no responsibility for the private contractors who have been hired to carry out interrogations.

It is certainly not the responsibility of a military with inadequate training, low pay, few benefits, and a vague chain of command.
