Back into the fight. would i have made the deal? i don't know. kant answer that because i don't know all the facts and i don't know what the other options are. there's one other very important point that needs to get out there. there's a reasonable legal argument that these five guys would have had to be released anyway within the next year under the law of war. they were being held in guantanamo as enemy combatants. under the law of wore when hostility ceased, enemy combatants have to be released. we could have argued we held them under other authority or civilian authority. there's a reasona...
