Should Guantanamo Bay Be Closed

Post Reply New Topic

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

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

In all honesty, I think this has more to do with our restored relations with the Castro regime than with the terrorism fight.

And torture was banned with bipartisan support a few months ago. But as to where to transfer the detainees, I don't know.

BTW, is Sam Brownback as loony as people say he is? I know he and Rick Perry are besties.

Thank you, Mr. V., for your lovely answer and concern. I shoot a hairball out at you.

You are very welcome! (I'll keep the hairball for a peculiar craft project I'm working on.)

Here is another fine article showing that 116 past Guantanamo detainees released have returned to terrorism. With this information, it begs the question just what is Asswipe's motives for closing this prison down? My first article says that it is all about money.

Like the Republicans said in the first article:
"His proposal fails to provide taxpayers with critical details required by law, including the exact cost and location of an alternate detention facility. Congress has left no room for confusion. It is against the law—and it will stay against the law—to transfer terrorist detainees to American soil. We will not jeopardize our national security over a campaign promise.” And IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. Interesting. Since when has law-breaking ever stopped the King before? And what does saving a little money mean to Mr. Aw since he has already spent trillions of the taxpayers dollars?

According to Lord Asswipe, "We can capture terrorists, protect the American people and when done right, put them in maximum security prisons, and we’re just fine.” We'll be just fine. What's a few released terrorists amongst friends?

What does Miss Conspiracy say? Asswipe wants these terrorists back in the fight and I bet you that a few of those prisoners if brought on American soil will accidentally escape. Oopsie. I'm just so proud to have Asswipe for my President. Not.

It doesn't matter where the prison is, they're not going to close down the military installation at Guantanamo Bay so what does it matter if they're housed there over the mainland United States? A military prison is a military prison, Guantanamo might be emblematic of something bigger but the reality we still torture and keep these suspects in terrible prison conditions regardless if we openly acknowledge it or not. It's funny we condemn Gaddafi and Assad so much when we were sending terror suspects to them to "interrogate" for us, Obama doesn't seem to be the type to take prisoners tho he just kills everyone.

Shoot the remaining 91 detainees for "attempted escapes" and spare the cost and hassle of moving them to the US.

Actually when I have time I need to look up on the prison conditions there because I'm hearing it ain't that bad.

I think they should be moved into your backyard, dude. I don't want terrorists anywhere around me. I'm with Mr. R. - line them up and shoot them down and be done. Finito.

The US doesn't keep all of its prisoners it catches in American prisons, a lot of these prisons don't officially exist or they get sent to a country like Egypt or Saudi Arabia where they take a pliers and blowtorch to them. That's the funny thing about all this controversy over waterboarding when in reality we just like to keep our hands clean of the really messy stuff that we have our friendly dictator friends take care of. Closing Guantanamo at this point doesn't really serve a purpose, if there is a military installation there then there may as well be a prison too. Any prison we keep them in would be exactly the same.

Well, pisslips, why don't you go join them? Of course it should be closed. The only reason for its existence is to avoid US law.

yes we can't
we wouldn't want to look bad in a medievalish contest, amidst our medieval friends

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.

If someone's suspected of a crime, arrest them and try them.

Were I captured and imprisoned and tortured and treated like a criminal, it might just affect how I felt about the authority that had done that, and the people in whose name it had been done. Even if I'd been innocence itself beforehand, I'd probably have some 'issues' after.

Let's face it, Obama could personally disembowel those left at Guantanamo, and you'd come on here and complain that, I don't know, 'Asswipe should have let the victims of terrorism do it. But no, it's all about him!'.
