Re: First gitmo captive pleads out.
I've heard a number of members of the military remark privately that they have little concern for what happens to the inmates at Gitmo. The general theme seems to be that Gitmo represents civilized restraint that stands -- in their minds -- as the "nice" alternative to a bullet.
I do not know how general this sentiment is.
