#1 I would think this request goes back some way - increased detainee numbers were the one dead certain predictable consequence of resorting to warfare, er, "the surge". Catch-and-release was a result of many things (the weird quasi-judicial aspect with Iraqi courts, capacity limitations, the relentless erring on the side of not upsetting already hostile communities, etc.), and probably other things I don't know about, but clearly the hassle of housing more guests was always a factor.
