I don't care.  Some guy who says he got his information "reading memos" and can somehow claim that only a few of them are terrorists is ridiculous.  Further, the way GTMO operated, high ranking officers were kept at a distance for the most part, to ensure that interrogators credibility was not ruined, and to have the detainee perceive they where the "boss."  This guy would have had no interaction with any of the prisoners or interrogation methods. 

Now, certainly there are probably a few people there who do not deserve to be, but the majority of them should be there. 

The number of people "tortured" at GTMO is tiny, and it is a real problem that trying them would result in them being set free at this point, which no one wants. 

It is certainly a problem holding them forever, but simply saying "close the base and figure it out" has so far yielded no results.  Europe has backed off of taking any.  Yemen seems to be willing to take a few, but Yemen is one of the major hotbeds of terrorism in the world.  Sending someone there all but assures they get involved again.
