I'm pretty sure gitmo is modeled on the cuban system of criminal justice, so innocence is probably irrelevant. I do agree that they should release the innocent people. The problem with conducting a war like the war on terrorism is that, depending on how paranoid you want to be, everyone is a potential terrorist.

I do understand the reasoning behind holding people indefinitely, it just doesn't really seem all that in line with the kind of justice we in america tend to claim to believe in.
