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.
