We really don't have to go any further than this first paragraph.

You contend, if I don't misunderstand you, that the ultimate goal of the people speaking out about prison abuse is to just have these people released. That is not true. I haven't heard anyone suggest opening the doors and just turning them out. The bringing of evidence and some hearings on that evidence sure would be nice though.

You contend, if I don't misunderstand you, that all the people held in these prison are people who have sworn they want to destroy American. That is also not true. There are reports of people being held for nothing more than immigration violations. It would seem to me that we could get more than 39 convictions out of a pool of 500 prisoners if the place was crawling with sworn terrorists.
