Pedro Martínez:61 of those released went back into terrorism. I doubt Obama will release any of them without some sort of hearing. I personally don't think they deserve a civic hearing but would agree that in some cases a military hearing would be appropriate. As far as I'm concerned, if they were captured in a military operation/conflict, they are military combatants and should be treated as such. I don't think there are a bunch of innocent men sitting in Gitmo. And I also don't agree that they all are deserving of a trial. With all due respect, it's not the same thing as being falsely accused of an illegal act by someone. There are very specifc reasons these guys were detained in the first place. And the fact that many of those previously released have gone back into terrorism and participated in the killing of innocent people should give us all pause before we release any more. Of course I could be missing some important point here and maybe should rethink my position. But at the moment, I can't think of any reason to alter my view.
