Subject: Re: Biden releases 11 from Gitmo
As much as I hated what those people did, their detention was illegal. And it was a sad comment in our confidence in our justice system that we didn't run them through it. They're either POWs (which they weren't, apparently), or they were criminals (I would argue the latter). POWs you can hold, criminals you cannot without a trial. We have rule of law for a reason, and we didn't follow it. Not even close.

It is yet another stain on the American soul.

FWIW, I would have preferred they be transferred to a proper prison and tried. However, I suspect that their treatment would have had their cases thrown out in a proper court, so releasing them was just an admission of that fact.
