Craig - I'm in eager anticipation - but I still say Ozymandias looks WAY too young.

KPW - Yes, being an electrician pays well by the hour, but it's sadly not steady work. As we say, it's the best part-time job you'll ever have!

Perhaps- and I'm just guessing here- they view it that way because the rapists and molesters are convicted offenders, while those held at Gitmo are people who have been swept up and held without legal recourse, in many cases based upon nothing more solid than speculation.
