Ah, you are wrong my friend.  Read Article I Section 8 of the Constitution again. 



I'm assuming military personelle, or some form of military ops (connected to the illegal war) worked at Gitmo?  If the answer is yes, then Congress has jurisdiction over the activities there.  Congress has jurisdiction over all military outposts, of which Gitmo is one.  Yes, they do.  If the military was there, doing the business of the US armed forces of any or many descriptions, then Congress has the say.  And if Congress finds the reasons given to go to war were falsified, your friends are in a pickle.  They could be in a pickle anyway since Congress may decide certain things that went on at Gitmo fell outside of the (falsely coerced) language of the altered statutes on torture.


ANY military or quasi-military outpost whatsoever falls under Congress's custody.  If you're arguing that your little group of terrorists can remake the rules as they go, you're in for a big argument.  Their coups will be stopped. The Constitution sits above all three forms of government, friend.  As much as you'd like to wish, the CIA doesn't constitute an unreacheable fourth form.


Those days are over.


To listen to your argument, the minute a uniformed officer or soldier steps off American soil, he no longer has to abide by the rules of the military, governed by Congress.  Good luck with that argument BTW.  You will be facing off with some people whose tolerance for bending the rules to the breaking point has itself reached the breaking point..
