No one left in Gitmo is any kind of a threat nor any worth as an "asset"

All that are left are rank and file who got swept up or were the victim if someone collecting money for naming names.

They aren't being brought into the US for three reasons:
1. They are of no use and bringing them here would expose that.
2. The US wouldn't get a conviction on any of them because of the torture that has taken place there.

We gave them next to nothing to get an American citizen back. As a member of the military the DoD has a responsibility to do that as well.
