Thursday 12 November 2015 / Hour 1, Block D:  Mary Kissel, in re: There are 112 illegal combattants in Guantanamo.  Many have previously been released; of the 112, 53 are "irreconcilable" – cannot be turned loose, incl Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.  Tomorrow morning, the WH will issue the president's decision to ignore the will of Congress plus the National Defense Ac t prohibiting these men to be transferred to the US or a third country.  Supermax in Colorado, and Kansas, and South Carolina. Pres Obama and supporters trying to obliterate the distinction between a combattant and a common criminal, who holds legal rights.  As soon as the Gitmo men arrive, the ACLU and white-shoe law firms will race for publicity by defending them. The point of detaining them is to gather intelligence to prevent future attacks  - not to lock them up to make them pay for a crime.
