re: #420 Thanos

Sorry I don’t find it credible without evidence.

I have no hope of convincing you but the topic of this thread shows that secret prisons and blacksites can be useful and may be necessary. It has been proposed that these two al Qaeda operatives were turned over as a favor to the Saudis but suppose there wasn’t enough admissible legal evidence for a conviction. Since we were holding them openly in Gitmo and had no hope of a trial we were forced to turn them lose. Perhaps it would have been better if they had been held secretly somewhere and simply vanished never to be heard of again.
