He was being a logical patriot. He made the excellent argument that if the US justice system can put 2 million wrongdoers in jail, with lawyers and with the protections of habeus corpus, it can handle terrorists.
Powell said "I would not let any of these people go. I would simply put them in the US and put them in our federal legal system....we can handle bad people in our system" Powell on Meet the Press June 10

No, he was a vise man, trying to avoid violations against Geneva Conventions. And prevent an international chaos-like the one we are in today.

That's right, the world would be a much better place if we just let all the terrorists go. Don't even stop them in the first place. 9/11 could have been prevented if we just let all the terrorists do whatever they want.

He was speaking as someone that knows the inner workings of the Bush Administration. (Could be why he left it eh???)
