You're right, comparisons are probably not relevant as this issue should deals in absolutes - what you should do and what you should not do. It's binary, in other words. I made a comment about the comparison as I wanted to get some perspective of where you were coming from, that's all, which your latest post has provided me.
Regarding your posts, I agree with you that clarifying the uncertain status of these detainees is critical in arriving at that transparency, as well as some form of accountability - it's harder to pin down accountability if you don't have something concrete to pin it against.
