...committed by the American military. Any discussion of their treatment needs to begin there. Second, I suspect the president has enough money at his disposal to fuel some airplanes for personnel transport to wherever the freed prisoners want to go and can go. The last president had the money to fly them the Cuba against their wishes. This one can certainly find some funds in the pentagon budget to fly them home. Some might not be able to return to their countries of origin. I say, buy them a condo in New Jersey. Or wherever. They are OUR victims now, no matter what they might or might not have done in the past. The U.S. has NO CASE against most of the Gitmo detainees and never had one. They deserve freedom, a sincere apology, reparations, and assistance. If they can't be moved from Guantanamo at all, build them some condos there. Again, I suspect that Obama could find the money if he had the courage.

That's what I would do. And yes, Obama could and should do exactly that. Human rights don't suspend themselves for political expedience. He's got a pickle. How he solves it shows his mettle. Utterly failing to solve it does too.
