In fact, I'm not entirely sure I'd be opposed to co-habituating with him, as long as he worked and paid his fair share of the rent.

On that note, I propose an experiment: should any Guantanamo detainees be released, I will invite them to live here with me provided that the United States government finds the idea agreeable. I shall record what happens after; it seems an interesting idea to me.

 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri all seem like deadbeats to me.  They might not take kindly to your militant atheism either.

They are also not typical Guantanamo detainees.

They have spent less than half their time in US custody in Guantanamo. Anyways they're not about to be released anytime soon. They'll be tried (and sentenced - though a cloud will always remain over the verdicts, whatever they will turn out to be). Most Gitmo detainees won't be as they did nothing to try them for.

The ones that aren't guilty? Sure. The ones who are actual terrorists should be convicted and put in prisons inside the US. Of course the likeliest option is that we are building clandestine prisons all around the world to house them.

If the guy has a fair trial, is found to be innocent, and wants to start a new life living in my neighborhood... then no, I wouldn't mind at all.

Haha, what an hilariouis premise!  Presumably the persons in Guantanamo are of some import (or they're just shills).  Do important people live in anonymous sh**thole suburbs full in interchangeable drones?  Well, maybe they do, as a cover, but what the hell good would it do to blow up a few sh**tboxes on the hillside?  Its like squashing a few bees in the hive.

Good lord the hubris.
