My concern is not only about CIA refusing to acknowledge a mistake, but the failure to release someone when the charges are determined to be unfounded. Holding people in captivity long after the determination that they don't belong there.

That's a bigger injustice than an agency's refusal to acknowledge a mistake.

We're on the same side here.
