We started releasing them in 2004. Within the place there are really 3 camps. Camp Delta, Camp Iguana, and Camp X-Ray. Camp X-Ray was closed in 2002. Camp Delta is the bigger camp housing something like 620 people. As you are aware I am sure when President Obama ordered the place to close we were holding 245 or so people I believe it was. That is a reduction of quite a few people, and there are plenty of stories out there talking about how people were released. Remember the whole Pentagon report focused on how many of them went back to fighting us? They had to be released in order to even have this problem to begin with. What was going on was in accordance with the law and in accordance with oversight from Congress. The US rarely lectures people on how they treat their malcontents. We make some noise here and there, but we often do little, if anything, about it. Your demand to go back post facto after the law has been changed and then attempt to try people under this in my view is a flagrant violation of the Constitution. I will tell you that the Executive will have had long legal discussions on the issue and clear OLC decisions backing up what they were doing. Trying to bring that down in court is nearly impossible.
