The Weekly Standard: "Zelikow Claims Many Detainees 'Do Not Show Large Signs of Future Dangerousness'
During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today, the conversation turned to the closing of Gitmo. Philip Zelikow, the director of the 9/11 Commission and former Bush administration lawyer, said there is a “broad spectrum” of detainees held at Gitmo, “many of whom do not show large signs of future dangerousness.”
How, exactly, does Zelikow know this? Has he conducted an analysis of the detainee population? Is he relying on some other review performed by the government (remember: The Obama administration hasn’t even completed its inter-agency review of the detainees yet)?
Or, is Zelikow just making this up because it is what he wants to believe?"
