Speaking about Ghailani’s transfer from Gitmo to New York here’s the administration’s view: “The Southern District of New York has a long record of successfully prosecuting terror cases. … In order to close the Guantanamo Bay facility and to strengthen our security, we must break the logjam that has kept the detainees in legal limbo since its construction. For over seven years, we have detained hundreds of people at Guantanamo. … Today represents a significant step forward in bringing swift and certain justice to the detainees at Guantanamo. And it is a first step. Experienced prosecutors continue to review the status of each detainee at Guantanamo, and there will be more indictments and trials in the weeks to come for those who have committed crimes against the United States or conspired to.”


Let's do this. Justice will be served.

Some of them might even end up properly charged, tried and convicted.

Exactly. You all act like no ex-cons ever commit a crime again.

Exactly. You all act like no ex-cons ever commit a crime again.A lot of *those* guys were never convicted of anything. If they'd been released a few years earlier, it wouldn't be such a big deal now.

The institutional inertia of anti-terrorism bites it on the ass.
