This guy claims he spent 7 years there despite the government not having evidence that he was involved in an embassy bombing plot. When we were forced to try him in court, the gov withdrew the charge rather then present evidence.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Part of me thinks there's got to be more to this story and is upset that we had to let him out instead of making sensitive, classified evidence public. The rest of me is horrified that America would engage in this behavior and lock up an man in our darkest hole without proof.

Much of the evidence against the people held in Gitmo is inadmissible in court. Tons of civil rights were violated when these guys were rounded up and investigated. However, just because evidence is inadmissible doesn't mean it isn't real and true.
Most of the guys who are still there are there because the government has a mountain of proof against them but knows they can't prosecute either because evidence is inadmissible or because necessary witnesses are still undercover.
Anecdotal evidence supports this theory. Guys who get released due to lack of evidence that they are terrorists immediately go back to being terrorists.

A lot of them become terrorists because they think America is doing evils to them but in reality it's their own government.

Its no excuse. With the criminal justice system in the US criminals are let go all the time because the cops used illegal means to get the evidence. It should be the same with terrorists held there. This is very bad for America. Now Obama signed a bill which one day will fill FEMA camps with Americans

I'm not sure I'd forgive someone who jailed me for 7 years for no reason
