As promised, here’s the Center for Constitutional Rights’ three-phase plan to close Guantanamo Bay.
1) send those [who] can go home home, 2) secure safe haven for those who cannot, and 3) charge those who can be charged and try them in ordinary federal criminal court.
Now is that so complicated? With Portugal offering and Britain considering to take in some detainees who would be tortured if repatriated to their home countries, a path out of the Guantanamo thicket is possible. As for the rest, how could it be that a maximum-security facility in, say, Ft. Leavenworth is unable to hold Khalid Shaikh Mohammed?

I suggest they send them to D.C. where they can be imprisoned. If they escape, who cares? They just might eat a reporter.
