The problem is that this would expose the whole show. Because 78.423%
of all statistics is "invented," I propose that probably 75% of the
people in Gitmo are there with entirely NO evidence whatsoever. They
were picked up and "somebody" said they were harmful. But that person
has long since disappeared; there is no evidence whatsoever to hold
them. Having held them THIS LONG, however, it would reveal just how
stupid the whole thing has been if we now try to try them.
Even for the fraction of people at Gitmo who ARE dangerous and ARE
connected to the horrible attacks on the U.S., I propose that there is
only enough evidence to convict 1% of them. The rest, even under the
most strict military proceedings, would have to be released (along with
the innocent) just because there is also no real evidence in their cases
either.
Again, I strongly recommend listening to the radio show I cited here:
