My thoughts exactly.

If there any guilty people at Gitmo, I want them punished and locked away. But to establish guilt, they need to be tried and the evidence presented and evaluated. That is the only way the detention at Gitmo can find any legitimacy. Otherwise it is a concentration camp for political prisoners.
