And hey, these people at Gitmo have had years of free room and board in a beautiful climate at the expense of the USA. Never bothered by phone calls from lawyers or the burdens of reading the evidence against them, or even, unlike most detainees, having to carry the weight of knowing why they're there or if their families are still alive.

intolerable.
