So many lies and myths perpetrated in this small article it is difficult to decide where to begin. It's just really disappointing that the one viewpoint that is sought is one from an Islamist apologist. No mention of 9/11. No mention of the Global War on Terror or Geneva Conventions or Law of War. Gitmo detainees are lucky to be alive. And indeed, 731 have been RELEASED, and NONE executed, beheaded, hacked to death, blown up, dragged naked and lifeless through the streets, drowned or burned alive. All things our enemies have done to us and/or our allies. There is another side to the story, a REAL side. Sincerely, Montgomery J. Granger, Major, US Army, Retired. Former ranking US Army Medical Department officer with the Joint Detainee Operations Group, Joint Task Force 160, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
