Patterico continues his interview with the Army major
here:
Can the detainees be reasoned with? I asked. Or is their
indoctrination so complete that there’s just no reaching them? Are
there any of them who are reasonable enough that Stashiu would feel
safe if we were to let them go free?
I don’t know that anyone is beyond reason, but I also
don’t know more than a couple who I think might be ok to release.
“Might” being the operative word there, I wouldn’t give the go-ahead on
my own for any of them. There I are couple I could understand and would
not go out of my way to protest their release. I can tell you that if I
ever saw a detainee face-to-face here in the States, I would
immediately assume that I was targeted and do my best to kill them
without further warning. If I turned out to be wrong about their
intent, I could live with that.
These are the "poor victims" we are holding at Gitmo. I wish the left would finally get this and help fight the enemy.
