Gitmo bay only has two logical purposes as I see it. (I don't see a false dilemma but if you do feel free to bring it up)

1: A detention center for people we don't want to release back to their country.

or/and

2: A place where we interrogate people for a period of time and then release them when we have tapped-out their information.

If we are detaining people for reason XYZ, I would be shocked if we were not trying to get information out of them before we send them back to their country.
