Agree that it seems everyone’s decided we’re just gonna wait until they all die. I can’t recall the last time I encountered a story about the “detainees”, even—it’s on nobody’s radar, which, to be fair, there’s been some other stuff going on. Christ, I hope all the ones left are actually-really-bad, what an absolute nightmare if they’re not, and I guess the public will never really find out for sure. For that matter, how depressing must it be to be to work in that prison complex? Guarding prisoners we’ve dragged halfway around the world just to stick in cages, spending way more on each (capture, transportation, indefinite detention) than they’d probably collectively have made in their lives, who’ve already been there for many years, who’ve been forgotten and will never see justice anywhere near the standard we usually expect, just waiting for the poor souls to kick the bucket so we can finish entirely forgetting about them. Oof. Must be demoralizing as hell.
Good exchange, thanks for the perspective.
