If you really think the war in Afghanistan is over and that we have won, then I suppose that the proper course is to release the prisoners into the authority of the Afghan government. That doesn't seem like a hot idea.

Plus, you are assuming the only option other than leaving them in place is to bring the Guantanamo prisoners here and try them, in defiance of Congress. There is another option that avoids a constitutional crisis. We can't try them. Congress has forbidden it. Ergo, they must be released.

Why not try them in military courts, with due process?
