To get an idea how well-spoken he is

Of course Begg's well spoken - he's the son of a bank manager; he was born in Britain, has a university degree, and has written a book. Begg isn't your typical Taliban guy who uses human skulls to play soccer.

Look holding POWs ( or whatever they're called) without habeas corpus and without having formal trials is against our Western tradition of law and justice. I get that. But these Gitmo prisoners do get to have their cases heard by military tribunals and they also get US taxpayer furnished legal counsel. Military tribunals are a heck of a lot fairer than what one of our soldiers would get if captured in Afghanistan ( apart from Sgt Bergdahl, of course). The population of Gitmo has gone down from approx 660 people to 134 as of May'14, so many of them have been freed. Some of them did not want to be freed because they didn't to go home and human rights groups supported their requests to stay at Gitmo. Go figure. Some of these guys were indeed - cover your ears! - bad guys - not all Gitmo prisoners were innocent, upstanding citizens, pure as driven snow - so they knew that if they were sent home, their own governments or their own neighbors or their own families would kill them.

It's a complicated issue. You can beat your chest as much as you want about the injustice of Gitmo and how its enraging Muslims further BUT Gitmo and its 134 prisoners are the least of our problems when it comes to alienating Muslims.

If we had shut down Gitmo 5 years ago, 10 years ago - if we had never established Gitmo, America would still be hated by some Muslims.

It's because of our ME foreign policy that some Muslims are radicalized. Gitmo is a small drop in the ocean of anger comparatively speaking. Afghanistan is a special unto itself because as much Afghan tribes hate each other, they hate foreign invaders more.

The best book I read on the subject of US foreign policy and Islamic radicalization was one written by Michael Scheuer ( former CIA chief in charge of the Bin Laden unit) and published in 2004 after the Afghanistan invasion. It was called "Imperial Hubris" - short and to the point. Well worth the read. It really put everything in context for me. Here's a wiki summary:
