What this doesn't mean

As I anticipated those on the right are using David Hick's guilty plea to one charge of "providing material support for terrorism" as some sort of proof that Guantánamo Bay is full of "evil doers" as the Decider(TM) / Proposer(TM) likes to tell us. They seem to ignore the rather obvious to me argument that after more than five years in custody with little or no access to the outside world, almost no contact with his family and having been very harshly treated, if not tortured, he has opted for a path that gets him out of American hands.
