Once again ignoring the fact the Pentagon itself acknowledged that more
than 20 percent of them were innocent of charges and should be
released. But still held onto them.

Cite?

You can find articles from last spring (as I said) with five seconds of
effort on Google. Wikipedia quotes one:

"More than a fifth of the approximately 385 prisoners at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, have been cleared for release but may have to wait months or years
for their freedom because U.S. officials are finding it increasingly
difficult to line up places to send them..." (Source: 82 Inmates Cleared
but Still Held at Guantanamo, by Craig Whitlock, Washington Post, April
29, 2007.)

That's a nice Washington Post cite, but I asked for one that shows that
the Pentagon has admitted that it's holding innocent men at Gitmo.

Don't hold your breath - Ahrens is still in a fog about those released
detainees that wound up back in Iraq.

I call it "Memory of Convenience" -- others call it just plain "dishonesty".
