Those not to determined to have committed a crime, or engaged in hostile acts are released, even though some of them actually where enemy combatants, and went on to commit more hostile acts after they released. I'm not saying take anyone for which there is any suspicion, and throw them in a cell and throw away the key. The cases should be reviewed, and they have been reviewed. In fact the reviews are where the data for that report comes from. I'm am saying that giving captured enemy full jury trials, the way they are done in the US justice system, is unrealistic, extremely problematic, and may be impossible. Also it is not required by US code, the US constitution, any international treaty we have ever signed and ratified, historical practices, US legal tradition, or any more general world tradition. No one does it in a war, no one has done it in a war, and for very good reasons.
