First, by the government's own statistics, 1 in 5 of those released will return to fight against us. I personally think the ratio is MUCH higher...
The highest leaked percentage was 20%. I say leaked because it came from an undisclosed source the day after Obama ordered GITMO closed, curious that.

Second, the trials will expose a lot of our interrogation and information gathering techniques, perhaps even put CIA operatives in jeopardy.

Third, when Kaleid Sheik Mohammed is tried - it will be a grand stage for him to spew his hatred of America and a call to arms for other jihadists. I for one expect a revenge attack(s) against NYC for the trial - with many civilian deaths as a result.
You obviously don't know or understand the criminal procedures of Federal Courts.

Obama and Holder are DEAD WRONG about what they are doing.

These terrorists should be tried in military tribunals.
A military tribunal where a Federal Appeals Court threw out evidence, the same military tribunal which forms the basis of this thread, military tribunals where defendants are afforded similar rights as those in criminal court, those military tribunal??

I want to see a line by line accounting of that estimate. Knowing N.Y. I think there is a lot of double billing going on.

This is Bushes fault not Obama. You idiots are like telling the Americans GIs who liberated the Jews at the Nazi camps criminal because some may be real criminals. Maybe but the camps were outragous in the first place fools. I would bet my bottom dollar that 99% of you would be jumping up and down for the internment camps for the Japanese in 41

It didn't take a battalion of jihadists to take down the World Trade Center complex and kill almost 3,000... so much for your silly analogies...

Let's agree to disagree - big time...
