This is kind of a catch-22. You're stuck between the public's right to information while at the same time you want to maintain security to protect the information, u.s. troops and possibly those being detained. Hard decisions really. Where would you draw the line? I'll give you a hypothetical, assuming that the Al Qaeda organization doesn't know who's being detained (we hope). What would happen if one or more of the detainees started opening up with the info like a faucet and the Al Qaeda knew, or had an idea who, it might be? How is that serving us or that particular detainee? To extend the point further, if all the detainees even thought that their identities were known, how likely do you think they would be to give any info at all with the knowledge that once they give the info the best that they can hope for is protection by us?
