"The numbers I read are that 780 of these hard core terrorists had to be sent there, but most were just released. 270 remain, with twenty of those having war crimes charges finally brought against them, with maybe 60 or 80 of those to face trial."

Well, perhaps if we calm down a bit we will see that the process is working and working as well as can ever be expected.

If we accept the numbers given above, we shoiuld note that about 500 detainees of the original 780 we grunt soldiers of the Teliban who weere brought to Guantanamo from Afghanistan. They were of no value for intelligence purposes, justbgrut foot soldiers. They were in safe keeping because the victorious force in their home country would have killed them and done it by the most grotesque means know to man. That is a part of Afghanistan's history.
