Is this seriously worth it? Guantanmo inmate never charged with a crime, dies after 11 years in US custody

The al-jazeera article can be found here. This man was never tried for a crime, was never convicted of a crime, and died never having committed terrorism. Nonetheless, he was kept in detainment in Gitmo for 11 years before being found dead in his cell. He tried to kill himself because "death was more desirable than living there." His release was even demanded by the Supreme Court, yet that was rescinded.

How is this justifiable? Are we really okay with locking people up with no evidence or trial of any kind based on an (often mistaken) assumption?
