Gitmo's paper trail

It's asking a lot to believe that Gitmo is this screwed up:

President Obama's plans to expeditiously determine the fates of about 245 terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and quickly close the military prison there were set back last week when incoming legal and national security officials -- barred until the inauguration from examining classified material on the detainees -- discovered that there were no comprehensive case files on many of them.

In a court filing this month, Darrel Vandeveld, a former military prosecutor at Guantanamo who asked to be relieved of his duties, said evidence was "strewn throughout the prosecution offices in desk drawers, bookcases packed with vaguely-labeled plastic containers, or even simply piled on the tops of desks."

He said he once accidentally found "crucial physical evidence" that "had been tossed in a locker located at Guantanamo and promptly forgotten."

I mean, c'mon. I get that compartmentalized control of souce intel makes a single file a ticking time bomb, but we did plan to prosecute these guys, right?

Somebody was going to put together a case - so presumably the information would have to have come together at some point. Right?

This "I told you closing Gitmo would be hard" BS that's slithering into the media is this icing on the cake. We screwed this up so bad, it's practically impossible to fix it. You should have listened to us...

I hope the administration doesn't flinch and just gets a bigger shovel. To do otherwise just rewards incompetence...or worse.
