SCOTUS Grants Guantanamo Prisoners Habeas Corpus

[ZenGum]

The problem with sending them back to their home countries is that those countries are often far less squeamish about using torture than the USA. Prolonged solitary confinement and waterboarding are kid's stuff compared to what goes on in some places.

I'll be very curious to see what happens to any repatriatees after they are sent home (and whether any start begging to be let back into Guantanamo Bay!)

To bad... so sad. Tough shit. You can't have it both ways. I say we pass them off and make them some one else's problem and then judge them like the US has been judged on how they deal with them. Personally I can't wait....

We'll never know. If they do anything to them not only are they not afraid to do much worse than waterboarding, but they won't tell anyone about it either. Those repatriotees will vanish.
