Why not?
Because Congress won't.
They were supposed to be tried in regular courts, but Congress threw a shit fit.
They'd rather do what Heywood wants -- keep them like some kind of poker chip that may never ever be useful.
As far as they're concerned, if the detainees die before being tried, that is fine, because in their minds, the detainees are already guilty.
It's a hideous display of American's finest bullshit. Guilty enough to keep locked indefinitely, but not enough to actually try and sentence legitimately.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
