If you can't give a valid argument as to why or why not, don't bother.

The jail-sorry.
2006-06-16 11:41:23 · update #1
Yes. We should.
A prison for non-US citizens that exists in a legal limbo is as un-American as you can get. A prison like the one in Guantanamo goes against everything that this country is supposed to stand for.
As for the argument that the people in the prison are dangerous, that may be or may not, but no one will know. Why? Because the prison exists outside the US legal system.
Give the people in the prison a trial. If they're guilty, throw them in jail for life or execute them if their crime seems to fit that punishment. But indefinite imprisonment without any charges is NOT what the United States of America is supposed to do. That's what third world dictatorships do.

The jail - no, not until it's purpose is served. (And I don't buy that line that it's against the Geneva Convention). If we close it now, where do you put the prisoners, in Levenworth, Kansas? Wouldn't that be great to have an escape of people committed to killing Americans. I have not heard any valid reason for closing it. People rant and rave for political gain, but never give a serious, rational reason. IT is serving a purpose in the War on Terror (meaing against Islamo Fasciscts who want to cut your head off, or blow you up).

The jail- YES, it's a violation of the Geneva convention.
The base- only after Castro is out of power.
The city- it's part of Cuba, we cannot close it!

No, because the animals being held there want to kill us! I know it's hard for some people to understand, but we are in a war against terrororists. Semper Fi Marines! Fight on.

From what I heard it's a least a bit of a deterrent for terrorists if they get caught but it does sound like a place of torture just like any other military prison would be.

no, reform penal methods and procedures in some areas. military is doing fine, despite graihib , and graihib shoud not set precedence in determining methods of military justice.

I think we should just leave the back door open and let Castro sort them out.
