Humble as the project was, I decided to give it a grandiose, somewhat pompous title—in order to delude myself into thinking that I was engaged in important work. I called it The Book of Human Folly, and in it I was planning to set down in the simplest, clearest language possible an account of every blunder, every pratfall, every embarrassment, every idiocy, every foible, and every inane act I had committed during my long and checkered career

So maybe we’re not entirely sure if the two men who’ve been released are totally innocent, but no one deserves to be imprisoned on Guantanamo without so much as a fair trial5. From my point of view
