It is therefore incumbent on America to take them in, and release them in the US, free and clear. You reap what you sow.

You don't get to just scoop people up and hold them indefinitely on the basis of 'whoopsiedoodle, nobody will take them back.'

Release them in US? Is that something a non-citizen says to just stir up responses/troll?

These people are unofficial POW of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars from what I understand. They should be returned to the governments of both.

And if they can’t be returned then they should be released. The US determined they did nothing wrong. Indefinite detention after a not guilty verdict is not an option.

Unofficial POW isn’t a status; that’s just a detainee.
