"Certainly, the military has proven incapable of sorting the al-Qaeda
wheat from the bystanding chaff. These are the figures: of 779 prisoners
held to date, 550 have been released. After seven years, the remaining
229 should have been whittled down to the very worst “enemy combatants”:
yet of the 33 men whose federal cases have been resolved so far, judges
have ruled that an embarrassing 28 are entirely innocent. An 85 per cent
error rate is not good enough even for government work. Meanwhile, the
mere mention of Guantánamo inspires anger around the world — anger at
our hypocrisy, for preaching law and practising lawlessness."

Agreed. The vast majority of them probably should have been simply
shot in the field. |
