It turns out that
Gitmo is neither the most secretive nor the most brutal of our detainment facilities...
The National Security Counsel, as of September 14 of last year, has stopped sending prisoners to Guantánamo, and they did so because they were getting bad publicity on the facility, and because they were trying to avoid court review of the prisoner's cases. In other words, prisoners remain at Bagram -- which was never intended to permanently house prisoners -- not because it makes any sense from a military or intelligence point of view, but because Bagram keeps secrets.
Again, many many innocents appear to have been swept up and trapped in perpetual holding facilities...
