WSJ- London and Guantanamo

"The argument seems to be that closing Gitmo will make the Arab world think better of us, thereby causing Islamic terrorists to stop killing Americans. This overlooks the small detail that they were willing to kill us, even on American soil, long before Guantanamo was up and running. What critics also don't mention is the dozen detainees released from Gitmo who have already rejoined the fight against the U.S. The Pentagon says that several Gitmo veterans have been killed in combat with U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. Imagine the uproar if it had been the other way around."
