33girl is reading my mind. Seriously, that's what I was thinking but couldn't verbalize as well as she. I'm not saying they don't deserve justice, but our ideas and their ideas aren't the same. And I think that with the damaged relationships American's have with those prisoners right now, if an American lawyer came in and said "You deserve a million dollars from the military and here's how we're gonna get it...." the prisoner's may be afraid to tell that American "no, I don't want millions" and may be afraid to verbalize what they really want.
