Should people in Guantanamo Bay be given a fair trial?

Answer 1

Everyone should be given a fair trial. I really feel for these people. Of the accused British two were in prison in England for drug charges at the time they were supposed to be training in Afghanistan!!! It really is a load of rubbish. These human beings are being treated in such a grotesque manner! If anything is going to stir up racial hatred this is the way to do. If you really want to know what the point is and where the information is really coming from look at Uzbekistan and the way they get evidence there (by making parents watch their children being tortured in the most in human way until they will sign documents saying their friends, family and neighbours are members of terrorist organisations). This is a nation which is run by the 5th worst dictator in the world (Parade Magazine) and the US government have given the Uzbeki government directly almost $500million in "aid". Wonder if that is because of the carbon reserves and the evidence the CIA are getting?
When the president of the USA has been given rights to ignore the Geneva Convention by congress and the supreme court has allowed the use of evidence gained by torture I don't think these people have the slightest chance of a fair trial or even justice. Even in the UK an application was made to the House of Lords in November 2005 to allow the use of evidence gained by torture.
I am truly ashamed to live in what the west likes to call a modern society!

Answer 2

Most of them couldn't even be given a trial since there is nothing to charge them with, no evidence. Remember the 12- and 13-year-olds they finally sent home after years of incarceration?

Aside from a very few combatants, the others were denounced by enemies and rivals, or picked up on the street, and are there by accident.

Of course Bush-whacker won't try them because they'd be acquitted and the futility of his entire term in office would be evident.

But what does he care? He's had 6 years to empty the Treasury, givfe the money to his cronies, and borrow more from the Chinese, leaving future generations to pay it off. Or to sell American land and factories to China on the cheap.

Answer 3

Mr HUSSEIN Obama will possibly no longer be waiting to fulfill his very own cut-off date for the final of Guantanamo. Nor will the terrorists ever get a trustworthy trial. relatively, they're deemed harmless by using administrative potential and trickled out some at a time as a fashion to realize his objective of "shutting down Guantanamo as quickly as achieveable".

Answer 4

If they have been kept locked up without enough evidence to bring them to trial for the past five years , the only honourable thing to do is to let them go.

Of course by now , some of them will have decided that they have to be terrorists when they get out.
Wouldn't you?
So they are going to need a bit of brain washing first!

We should all hang our heads in shame for what has been happening there.

God help us all if America ever decides that Britain and Euope are the enemy!

Answer 5

The evidence of their arrest should be reviewed and they should be returned to the government of the country they were taken from for a fair trial or they should be released. We are not the world's police, we have no reason to be jailing people who don't break the law in our country.

Answer 6

The people being held there should be allowed to claim the due process granted them by international law, mainly the Geneva Conventions. Since the US government has decided that the Geneva Conventions don't apply to uis any more, the prisoners will not even get that basic level of rights accorded them.

Answer 7

Should the people who put them there be given a fair trial?

Answer 8

if this 'war on terror' is meant to make the world a better place and be a war for democracy then it follows that they should. The reason they won't be given a fair trial is because this isn't a war for democracy.


and of course they are being tortured! how anyone can be blind to that is beyond me!

Answer 10

they do have right to a fair trial but they don't have any right under the guantanomo bay law so they are not getting any so that is why your world leaders need to do something about it.
