you KNEW they weren't going to ACTUALLY RELEASE THEM right?

i sure did.

we keep INNOCENTS LOCKED UP FOR SEVEN YEARS. NO CHARGES, NO NOTHING. WE KNOW THEY'RE NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING including being TERRORISTS. they're away from their families, in a foreign land. they will be killed (or worse) if we send them home. what do we do to make amends for OUR torture of them (isn't being locked up incommunicado for seven years torture?) WE KEEP THEM LOCKED UP. savages. we are savages
