I have no doubt. It was not designed to be a holiday. Some of them surely got what they deserved, some not so much. Because of the way it was handled from the outset we will never know the truth. I believe that some are being released becase the risk benifit ratio of releasing info the government wants to keep secret is not worth the risk of a public show trial. Who knows. I certainly am going to look at anyone who has been locked up there for 5 years with a certain degree of bias as a source of information as to what really went on there. Until people who were directly involved from the government side start to talk about it publically as in the form of some kind of expose I don't think we will ever know. In these situations we need a balance of information to make up our minds about what we are going to believe.

As I have said many times I am all for closing it up next week and sending every party back to their country of origin whether they want them or not and regardless of their eventual fate. Leave it.
