It would have been better to shoot them all instead of wasting our time with them.

But its pretty good to know that those 7.5% rotten eggs when released will next be eliminated in Afghanistan.

At least 15 (maybe more) out of 200 have been caught committing terrorist actions. Then you add in those who were not caught committing terrorism after they left, and those that committed terrorism before they where put in Gitmo.

That could be several times 15, but lets assume its only double. So 30 out of the 200 are terrorists, and that out of those we released (who we had less reason to think where terrorists). The percentage out of those still at Gitmo is probably much higher.

Lets guess that only half of the people at Gitmo are terrorists. That would mean that if you close it and release everyone you release 200 terrorists.

Of course it would also mean that 200 non-terrorists where at Gitmo. But "non-terrorists" doesn't mean innocent. A Taliban fighter who fought the Northern Alliance and then Americans isn't necessarily a terrorist, but he is a captured combatant.
