2:14 pm
joining us. colonel cowan, let me start with you. how do they track this? how do they come up with a number like 18%, do you think? >> good intelligence, melissa. we have people watching these guys. we've got friendly nations we returned some of these people to watching them this is good on the ground intelligence work where some of these guys go and whether or not they're back in the game. melissa: seems like 18% is lower than what i would think. geraldo? >> first of all guantanamo bay was a shyster's ploy to avoid the united states constitution opening it was a scandal, a stain on our history of being a fair and just nation. melissa: what would you like to have done with the people? >> try them federal court. put them six floors underground in the colorado maximum security federal prison. to hold them without charges, what the hell are we supposed to do? hold them until they die of old age? melissa: let's let colonel cowan respond to that. >> i'm okay for putting them six
2:15 pm
floors underground in a prison. the problem if we put them through the judicial system, all the intelligence we gathered has to be laid out as evidence prosecuting them. that is the issue. how much do we give up on information on these guys, how much are we willing to make public. that is the issue. melissa: how do you deal with the idea, geraldo, blood spilled getting them into custody and let them go to the battlefield? >> a lot of these people were seized very early in the game. some were drivers, low level fighters. you keep them in maximum security in gitmo bay surrounded by other radicals for 12, 13 years, what the hell do you expect them to become, postal clerks? melissa: you think guantanamo did this to them? >> think guantanamo aggravated people. remember we weren't at war with these folks formally, september 11th, 2001. a lot of these people were very, very enlisted ranks. melissa: colonel cowan, do you believe that. >> yes. no i think geraldo is absolutely correct.
2:16 pm
