Apologies are likely in order. The people put in Gitmo were grabbed quickly and without investigation. Over 20% were released after a couple of years because it was obvious they were not "combatants."
We don't know about the ones remeining -- 525 of them, I believe. It's not as if anbody in Iraq had anything to do with 9/11... of course, Al Quaeda members are a different matter, entirely.
The quesiton is, is this another example of shooting the messenger? Since it was an FBI report being quoted, let's assume there was some truth in reports of suspects being chained in their own excrement. Is that okay?
