Some of these men have seen atrocities at Gitmo and Afghanistan. I’m sure of it. I am of the opinion (and maybe I’m wrong) that they have been kept because of what they have seen. Here is one example.

We have to have the courage as a nation to put all evidence, including all evidence of atrocities on the table. If we don’t this abuse of power will never go away. Pres Obama will be as tied to it as Bush was.
