That is the problem. Our government is holding humans, without stated cause, without having any procedings, for 6 years now.
The military officer in charge there did not even believe most of them belonged there.
Maybe from your ethical viewpoint, government kidnapping without recourse is OK. It's not OK to some other people. It doesn't matter if they have the head of 9/11 there, or a mass bomber, or an ice cream truck driver, or you. Why would any of them magically get different ethical treatment. Thankfully we have a good system that affords people due process (before we kill them).
