Catch and Release: a disastrous policy bringing awful results « Coach is Right

Catch and Release: a disastrous policy bringing awful results « Coach is Right: Last June Vice Adm. William McRaven testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that, “that contingency plans for detaining terrorism suspects are developed on an ad hoc basis and approved by the White House, but that there are no set rules.” He want further to tell the Senators “in many cases” suspects captured in secret are taken to a U.S. Navy ship until they can be tried in a U.S. court or transferred to the custody of an allied country, but if neither option is feasible, he said, the terrorist is let go. “If we can’t do either one of those, then we will release that individual.”

Far too often the terrorist have been freed.
