1. Does this prompt any thought from our side about how we release prisoners?
Presumably, George Bush wants to hold terrorists indefinitely in most cases. Our conventional wisdom dictates that the Bush administration didn't care about the rights of suspected terrorists. In this case, they determined that they did not have enough evidence or whatever to keep this individual. They let him go and he is now organizing attacks against us.

If some of our operating procedure is to have greater respect for their rights and require greater evidence linking them to possible attacks, then wouldn't we be letting similar people out of Guantanamo?
