Or that the problem was "indefinite detention without trial or proof", not "hey, let's coddle proven terrorists."
In civilian criminal cases, there are instances where a person was acquitted of murder (for lack of evidence) and then went out and killed again. That is not an argument for stripping murder suspects of legal rights. It is simply an unhappy but necessary side effect of an imperfect human-run legal system that values keeping the innocent out of jail more than it values punishing all offenders.

When Obama gets elected president, he can let them all go free, shut down Gitmo, and remove the US from the war on terror, and everyone will live happy ever after.
When the Supreme court makes it illegal, then it's illegal. Until then, keep screaming, no one is listening.
