European inspection team finds that out of 460 detainees there might only be 40 to 50 "real cases" at Guantanamo.

The Guantanamo camp may have only 30 to 40 "real" cases and the US detention center should be shut down by 2007, the president of the Belgian Senate, who headed a European inspection team there, said.

Presenting her findings in Washington on behalf of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Anne-Marie Lizi recommended the shutting down of the US "war on terror" detention center by end of 2007 because the actual number of dangerous detainees was low.

"We have looked at all the categories of detainees: those who are supposed to be transferred, those who are valuable for procedure," Lizi told reporters.

"The number of those, when you discuss it with the people in this jail, could move from 70 to a little more than 100 but not more. And in some cases, people say we could have only 30 to 40 real valuable cases," she said.

Her report says Guantanamo now has some 460 detainees.

This is a festering sore on our national reputation. We have more then enough reasons for our reputation to be lessened around the world. But Gitmo is the one that could be solved with the least amount of dollars spent or additional damage done.

We need to close it down and let any of these people go who we do not have a strong case against. Will they go off to fight against America now? Yeah, probably. Will keeping them there longer change their minds? Nope.

So what is the solution? Do we just hang on to them indefinitely? Hell no!

So we release them. And we may have to arrest them again, this time for a real crime. But it is the right thing to do. There is no perfect choice here.
