Well, Win, they have a problem. No court operating under terms anything like those recognized the US courts or international law, could do anything with a Git'mo detainee but release them. That's what the Brit's had to do as soon as their nationals were released after years of detention. No chain of evidence has been perserved. Witnesses have not been deposed. All confessions have been coerced, some under torture. The US has no jurisdiction or standing to try them. So none of these people could be tried in any impartial court. The only argument in favor of detaining these people at Git'mo was to put them into a legal limbo so that they could be tortured into providing information of relevance to the GWOT. When the Bush Gestapo started down this path, they waived all standing under law, let alone justice.
