Yes, an interesting point. When your Government is doing it damndest to keep
a bunch of untried and even uncharged people on a tiny military enclave on 
the side of the island of your sworn enemy, just so they can avoid the 
legal complications of giving them access to the system which purports to be the
shining light of their civilization, and keeping them in cages.. That might send a few
mixed messages.
 
When our leaders set good examples, I will feel better about getting outraged over
the actions of those following their orders.
