I agree, but I doubt it would be in the interest of those making the decision whether to prosecute. So, I fear it will not happen, at least not for a few decades, maybe a century or two.
Yesterday, I heard this quote: "America is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." (Reagan, 1983). Made me immediately think of gitmo.
Call me an optimist, but I doubt that. The lesser of two evils, yes, but good? No. Add in a bit of "if I do not let it happen, I'll be voted out and somebody else will order it" (it's a rare politician who dares to tell the public that, unfortunately, there's little that can be done to fix a problem) and "it's better that a good guy like me minimizes the amount of badness than that someone truly evil does it", and we get where we are now.
