Catch 86

86 is the number of prisoners at Guantanamo who, in the eyes of the law, do not belong there.  They have been cleared for release but still reside in prison.  In some cases no country will accept them and, of course, Congress has forbidden their being released in the USA.  In other cases we are afraid to release them because they might resort to terrorism when freed.  After all, they have only been falsely imprisoned for years and may have the temerity to think that we are to blame.
