So there are 148 terrorists who have been sitting on their assess in Guantanamo drinking our coffee and eating our Halal burgers for up to 13 years. Compared to the 20 to 30 thousand ISIS fighters plus Boko Hiram, Taliban and so on that's peanuts. Send em back to their homes and put the onus on Islamic states to keep them clean. If they go bad we have a rhetorical stick to beat their governments with and realistically, how much damage can 148 has beens do? Andy McCarthy is doing what he accuses the Administration of doing: thinking in criminal justice terms.
Militarily these guys are a nothing burger. PR wise they're a wash hurting us with neutrals and allies balanced against all the Allahu akbars that the iskamocrazies will yell upon their release.
Perhaps now both sides of the aisle comprehend the wisdom of the "catch, rendition and rend(er dead) before release" program of the CIA. Or even the Obami's "give 'em Hell(fire) Barry" approach. War is hell and until we kill all the lawyers (oh happy day) winning insurgent terror wars means we can take no prisoners.
I say let the little shits go. Perhaps with unobserved tracking tags so we can Hellfire 'em later. Or turn them into the jihadi equivalent of Fembots. Nothing would impress the ummah more than if the Great Satan could give their boys exploding heads and machine gun jubblies.
