A previous President campaigned on the closure of the camp at Gitmo, had 8 years to execute and yet, here we are.
Surprisingly, many of these inmates are dedicated to their cause, and when released, have returned to the fight. Many if not most were captured in circumstances that preclude a normal trial. However, most of their actions were prima facie war crimes.
I mean, we can go down the Canadian route of giving millions of dollars to war criminals from Gitmo, but I don't know if that serves Justice as much as you seem committed to doing so.
