Guantanamo Bay Rating Options

[synatribe]

As President Obama comes into office, one of the first executive orders he made was the shut down of Guantanamo Bay (terrorist Prison). Im torn between thinking what is right. If you think about the factor about America's image, we dont want to be seen as a torturing country, where on the other side (the Republicans) argues with criticism that the terrorist should be kept there and if Guantanamo is closed, where would they go?


What are your opinions ?

You do realize the base includes "suspected" terrorists right? There might be guilty people in there but a good amount are people who were unfortunate to get captured.

Plenty of people are held there without charges, no outside contact, no way to contact legal counsel, and for an undetermined amount of time. There have been no trials because techinically/legally they aren't suppose to be held to begin with. Also, in a time of national security concerns, apparently, you can just hold them just to be safe. How is America suppose to go out there defend our democratic country when it turns around and denies people the same things we want to protect? That we're trying to enforce on a country we just invaded?
