I agree with your assessment pre 9/11, but there are some detainees there that can't be released, and their commissions aren't ending any time soon. I'm convinced some of them will die of old age there. I've had the privilege of seeing one of the hearings and I've been in those facilities that were built. Without going into specifics, there are a lot of other functions happening that have nothing to do with detainees that weren't being done pre 9/11. The place has uses now that it didn't then.
