So many outcries about an isolated case that may completely misrepresent the administration. Easy to due when critical details are not yet provided.
The example is seriously devoid of any facts to make a conclusion. For example, was the Ethiopian native the rare guilty one who actually was a threat to America? Was he the rare case where national secrets are at risk? Nobody with criticism ever asked that question. And yet that question should have the very first asked before criticizing that government lawyer.
Meanwhile four Iraqis held for years in Guantanamo in direct violation of American legal principles were released to Iraq. Iraq, in turn, immediately released them. Iraq said all four men were guilty of nothing and that no reason existed to hold them. An example repeated hundreds of times.
What we don't yet know is which of the very few are guilty of anything and therefore might threatened national security secrets. Until something real comes from this example, the example does nothing but hype wild speculation.
For criticisms here to be valid, one must first prove these men were the massive majority who were not guilty of anything. Instead, the responsible response is to have no opinion until judges rule and therefore provide a fact.
