KSM doesn't have to be prosecuted. Al Qaeda can have him back the day that they sign surrender documents.
Going back to Gitmo, I've changed my mind in one respect. If we want to change our image abroad in respect to Gitmo, we need to close it. >From a practical standpoint, that is the only thing that will change perception. It doesn't make any difference how people are treated there now, how rare incidents were, or anything else. Unfortunately, I have no idea how we can close Gitmo. We can't send most of these people back to their home countries for fear they will be tortured and killed. We can't put them in US civilian prisons because of issues around evidence and disclosure, and it will be a cold day in Hell before we let people like KSM walk free. So, barring a surrender by Al Qaeda, we're stuck.
