This is what Bush wanted. There now just short of 400 people officially at camp Delta which is one of 2 confirmed facilities in the bay. Only 5% of those were captured by US soldiers, the vast majority were bought from Pakistani and a variety of Afghan based militia groups. Yes. Dr Magneto just said "bought". It sounds different to detained, arrested, renditioned, seized, or magically levitated and moved.

Since the 11th of January all those years ago when the bay opened over 700 bits of property with beating hearts and bubbling stomachs have gone through the camp.

17 of those were under 18 of our human years when they went in. Of those 17, only 4 still remain in the facility but have all gone past a birthday cake now.

380 individuals have been brought back to close to 30 countries. They are men like you.

Just in case you're a woman don't worry - in that case they're men just like whomever you know who isn't a woman. I can tell you confidently now that the odds are very low on them ending the world. They may have done some bad things in the past, and face it you'd have to do bad things to get sold by the sort of people who got shot of them. But they're not going to end the world now. The world is safe. We are off the planetary alert now. Our tall buildings are safe and their peculiar designs remain a secret. We are befriending people from hot countries and doing everything possible for civilised people to get the message out that it doesn't matter what the US supreme court says. Just ignore them. You know what Gitmo is.
