It may seem quite normal in any other country to house "combatants" they capture in their own country... Only in America however would this be a subject for debate. No state wants Gitmo and the controversy surrounding the criminal judicial process used to implicate them in crimes on their soil. For these reasons republicrats are signaling they want Gitmo to remain open until something can be done with these patsies.

In spite of the fact that forced confessions for the September 11th attacks were acquired through the same torture practices as those brought on the other gitmo residents in question, Attorney General Eric Holder is investigating whether these other suspects (not implicated in 9/11) had their cases compromised by torture practices. Yet no one is questioning whether these same practices could have in anyway compromised the validity of Khalid Sheik Mohammads confession, the man who has nearly taken full responsibility for 9/11! With the exception of hinting at it here and there, but never moving significantly from their assertion that it was him

So as this divergent issue of which country the AMERICAN prison should be in (!) rages on, the implication of this man in 9/11 using the torture practices in question has slipped by unscathed. This can not be overstated.
