President-elect Obama will need all available tools to responsibly close the detention facility. And closing the facility is critical to repairing the damage the unfair and inhumane detentions have caused to the United States’ reputation as a leader in humane treatment and due process standards. The commissions should not be rushing forward to conclude cases that could obstruct the ability of our next president to restore the moral authority of the United States and to seek real justice for those who commit crimes of terror.
