Bottom line, the truth would come out.

I suspect these detainees weren't just rounded up in raids and carted off to GitMo. Rather, they were selected because of their knowledge. I suspect these individuals know something about the Iraq invasion and US involvement in the mid-east that US officials don't want made public.

If they ever got out and started talking to the world media, it would make the US look very, very bad; worse than holding them in prison for over a decade without charges...
