Detainees Will Still Be Held, but Not Tried, Official Says: "The Obama administration has decided to continue to imprison without trials nearly 50 detainees at the Guantánamo Bay military prison in Cuba because a high-level task force has concluded that they are too difficult to prosecute but too dangerous to release, an administration official said on Thursday."

Well, listen, if a high-level task force says that we've got to continue illegally and unethically holding people in a dehumanizing manner totally contrary to our stated notions of justice and in a place where they may be killed and their murders covered up, who can argue with that?

It's a high-level task force, people!
