Biden will probably resume transferring prisoners out of Guantanamo prison.

However, politicians have difficulty coming up with what to do about the 10 or so prisoners who are accused of specific terrorist crimes. They have difficulty because they don't follow the reasoning to its conclusion.

The conclusion is simple: release them. Those prisoners have been in prison for well over a decade, and they have been tortured. The torture of those prisoners was a grave crime committed by the United States. Holding them in prison without trial is another crime, which the US still continues. The US must stop committing this crime.

As for the claim that some of the prisoners are "too dangerous" to release, that is balderdash. There cannot be anything special that they could contribute to violent Islamist movements today. Some had important terrorist contacts, but those contacts are dead. Anything specific they knew 15 years ago is obsolete; anything general must be known to many other terrorists who are still at large.

At most, the freed prisoners would constitute a few terrorist recruits on top of the other thousands. That would have no significant effect on the security of the US or anyone else.

The president should commute the prisoners' potential sentences to time served. Those who can find a place to go, should be allowed to go there. The US will have to house the rest, but not as prisoners.

Republicans are pressing the wrecker to pardon Edward Snowden.

Meanwhile, Snowden asked him to pardon Julian Assange.

If he does either of them, I will rejoice at that. However, that won't outweigh in my judgement my condemnation of his attempt to set up a tyrannical state.

The wrecker is shifting his supporters, appointed by him to official positions, into "career" positions that the president is not supposed to be able to dismiss arbitrarily.

However, last month, the wrecker made an order authorizing agency heads to designate thousands of jobs as "fire (them) at will". If he can do that, Can Biden do the same to the wrecker's formerly political appointees?
