The government should have to disclose the people it has in indefinite detention and it should have civilian oversight to make sure there is a good reason for keeping that person locked up forever. Doing this will not harm our WOT one iota.
Any person with his boots on the ground will tell you that the turning point in Afghanastan and Iraq, where the population started to dislike the Americans and supporting or tolerating attacks on Americans came after Abu Grahib. That debacle set us back a hundred years in the WOT and did not result in a single iota of actionable intelligence. Got that? Not one single iota. It's a matter of public record. And in return we inflamed an otherwise favorable populous.
Bringing law and order to the fight doesn't make our attacks any less lethal; it makes our attacks more effective.
