Still, I think that it fell short on two issues. First, it failed to mention that it appears that of the 500 people released from Guantanomo, the pentagon says that about 40 have gone back into terrorism activities. While less than normal criminal recidivism, this is a real problem. Second, what if a hard working governmental offical has informantion that indicates pretty strongly to him that a prisioner is a hardened terrorist, but that information could never come into evidence (say it is hearsay). As a matter of policy should we just let him go as we would if it was a straight criminal trial. These are the tough issues that I respectfully sugest the media and the ACLU are not facing. I appreciate your time. http://www.securitymanagement.com/news/one-seven-guantanamo-detainees-released-revert-back-terrorism-pentagon-says-005651 I just heard your excellent program on this issue.
