IMO, after all detainees are sent to other US military prisons worldwide, then close Gitmo for good. Now that the US has restored relations with Cuba's government, there isn't much of a point now with keeping Gitmo open.

Because once The Don takes over the White House we won't have a "friendship" with Cuba.

Yes, it needs to be closed. Send them all to Kansas and build a big wall around the state.

An excellent idea.Let's send all the child molestors and rapists there to bed down with the terrorists.Instead of shooting them I suggest an act of God.During tornado season the prisoners will all be moved outside to the yard when one approaches.
I second this! My idea is just ship em to Antarctica during winter and let them freeze to death.

This hits close to home as the detainees may be relocated to Kansas. Your thoughts?

I've fought against some of those turkeys. My answer is this: If we don't want to give them the needle, then we need to keep it open. Otherwise, if they want to be martyrs for Allah, then let's assist them. Once they're put out of their miserable, mortal, corruptible states, then sure, we can close Gitmo.

Yes. It should not have been opened in the first place.

What are we fighting for if not principles like due process?
