I've said this many times since learning of Gitmo...

If *I* was taken from my home and thrown into such a place with no trial, no evidence, and having done nothing wrong (other than to have someone accuse me of something, either for the reward offered or because I was in their way)...

when released, I would BECOME a terrorist. I would make it my mission in life to hunt down every American on the planet, every one of my captors and the people who allowed this to happen, and I would extract my revenge on them.

What is remarkable to me is that ONLY 122 people who have been released "returned" to being a terrorist (and most were not terrorists to begin with).
