Since this is premium content, I can't read it. So I can't weigh the merits of his article. Yeah, I don't have an online subscription either, but I have the actual issue. I was just pointing out the data below: The article below from this week's Economist has a book by a Joe Marguiles, a lawyer representing some of the inmates at Gitmo, and he says no more than 8% of them are accused of being members of Al Qaeda and more than half of them are not alleged to have engaged in hostile acts to American or coalition forces. Presumably he knows more of the data than you or I. Trust me, that's in the article. I don't know how he got his data, but from somewhere. Reading the whole article doesn't shine much more light than the above paragraph.
