Who ever wanted full, fair, open trials of Guantanamo detainees? The point of detaining them was to keep them from killing Americans, not to put them on trial.

Keeping them in Guantanamo is the right thing to do.

Christopher Hitchens says we should abolish the CIA because it destroyed interrogation tapes. That's not why. The CIA and all our bureaucracies have mutinied, and they should all be abolished. The CIA was created to deal with Cold War problems 60 years ago. Now it's just a dinosaur that doesn't respond to anybody but itself, and is ineffective for dealing with modern problems anyway. The same is true of every government bureaucracy, so all should be abolished and replaced with small, accountable, organizations designed within Constitutional limits to meet today's problems then fade away to be replaced by new organizations in the future to meet future problems.
