gitmo is jihadist U... takes in a lot of borderline cases for detention and turns them in hardened militants. The trials have had lots of problems with politicians trying to demand sentences and ignore due process. That whole thing is a mess, and infinite detention without need of any cause is a bit disturbing.
It would be a lot less disturbing if it actually were infinite. It wouldn't be so bad if I thought the CIA were competent to track these people once they are let go, but it's The Three Stooges Hour with them these days. Scalia was right. People will almost certainly die as as a result of the Supreme Court's ruling in Boumediene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boumediene_v._Bush).
