They'll have to be disappeared so the public doesn't find out they're probably not "narcoterrorists", but they already admitted they survived so it can't be permanently. In Gitmo "terrorists" have no rights, so the media, lawyers, their families, and their governments can be prevented from contacting them basically forever.
