"National Security" = we don't want to be embarrassed about our heinous crimes against humanity being revealed, so we keep the subject of those crimes hidden away, at all costs, because "National Security". If the legal precedent is established with even just one case, it will open a whole can of worms because, after all, there are hundreds of innocent people being tortured in our secret torture camps. So, for the sake of the national security of the committer of these crimes, we will keep them indefinitely, hoping the problem will one day go away or we get a President who will make it all legal. Seriously. This is the argument. EDIT: downvote all you want, but America has a serious human rights issue here. It is detaining INNOCENT people with no due process, indefinitely - for DECADES now. It is time for the American people to demand the closure of Guantanamo, and for an investigation into the CIA's black torture sites, of which there are far, far too many around the world, secretly tucked out of the view of the American public. If you are okay with this, you're the problem.
