TAPPER:  Two questions about developments today.  One regarding the Ghailani trial -- him being flown to the United States -- if any of the detainees who are brought to trial through the U.S. criminal courts, or even through military commissions -- if any of them are found not guilty, will the administration let them free?

GIBBS:  Well, I'm not going to get into hypotheticals about...

TAPPER:  Forget the military commissions.

GIBBS:  I'm not going to get into hypotheticals about the court cases either.

TAPPER:  Well, this is an important part of -- you're talking about a credible justice system; bringing these people to justice. You've spoken at great length about this -- the president has.  If they are found not guilty, will they be found...

GIBBS:  Well, let's discuss that if it ever comes to fruition.

TAPPER:  But isn't that what is underlying a credible justice system?  The idea that if you're found not guilty, you'll be free?

GIBBS:  Sure.

TAPPER:  So...

GIBBS:  But I'm not going to get into hypotheticals about how certain cases may or may not play out.

TAPPER: So you're not willing to commit to freeing people if they're found not guilty?

GIBBS:  I'm not willing to get into playing hypothetical games.

Most likely places to take the Uighurs also had agreements that China would have used to request their return as 'terrorists'. Palau doesn't. In fact, they recognize Taiwan and have often been relied upon for pro-US (anti-Palestinian, pro-war) votes in the UN.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
