Hope and Change

I just love this. But then I love the odd twists and turns of "logic" that some people use. Obama's campaign was based largely on the idea that he was going to follow the law and put an end to the illegal things that Bush was doing.
Now the Administration realizes that they will not be able to prosecute the Gitmo detainees in time to close it by the end of the year but they will continue the detention process. And it would seem even worse to transfer the prisoners to another country where they would have even less rights than they had at Gitmo.
But the idea that, even if the detainees are prosecuted, if the sentence is insufficient, they would continue to be detained. What is that?
