When and how will Obama close Guantanamo?

[hookalakah]

"The Obama administration reversed itself and moved to begin military trials for Guantanamo detainees." --news headline, March 7, 2011

[ScotteDio]

Closing Guantanamo = ignorant. Some you hippies have no idea what type craze mercenaries are there (mainly Aussies or South Africans), spies from Russia & China. Theres free people in Guantanamo, but refuse leave because safety reason (like most Chinese), they earn a living there (yes, they get paid), or theres no countries would take them. Terrorists aren't POW!!!!

[drunkbuilt]

Very sadly to say, you are all unbelievably stupid as fuck.

[larchmont08]

So sad to see it close. I wish our military would develop better torture techniques. Waterboarding looks sissy? Must work though; considering they kept at it. Anyway, the Geneva Convention is a joke. Once you surrender it's over partner!! Never surrender!! take it all the way to the end. As for our combatants that surrender. Rag head, facist, Islamic militants willing to die? Then they surrender? Jesus they are the weakest of their kind. Either torture them and obtain the info, or kill them?

[jasonsadventure]

yo larchmont08,

spoken like a true chicken-hawk that mouths-out a big game while u sit your old-as-dirt, self-centered, fat-ass watching fat screen in your lazy-boy while stuffing ur mouth with krispy-kremes while others serve and die for our country. pathetic on blast yo.

yo bra, until u know the effect of ur big-words or get half-a-brain, u should just keep stuffing ur mouth with krispy-kremes, watch ur ass spread & shut-up yo.

check-it our country is better than u & ur putrid beliefs.

[larchmont08]

If you're replying on a MONDAY morning with lead YO? I suspect it's your FAT ASS that's unemployed and spreading fairly well. Here's a thought asshole.... Go fuck your pussy again you little terd..... YO???

Jesus develop a phrase less Ghetto!!

[sibawi]

u stupid coz each time u torture muslim u r making muslim gothering against u nd more us soldier died nd face it in the begining usa was taking control over afganistan nd now noooooooo coz so many pple joined al quaida

[phillipmarch22]

Well, you posted 9 months ago and said you were sad to see Gitmo close. Looks like it will be vacant by years end. The Senate voted 79 to 19 to send the detainees to the US for trial. Gitmo has been a stain on our reputation and has been a requiting tool for Al-Qaeda. You are uneducated and a racist. Thank GOD for President Obama!

[CRAPCANNONS]

The United States owes them refuge?

No... the idiots who imprisoned them owe them refuge, not the people of the United States.

[MalcolmXtra]

You mean the ones that imprisoned them on behalf of the US?

[veryfuck]

i rather die then be tortured for 8 years like some detainees have.

knowing detainees are Forced feeded by tube implants because of hunger-strikes i always carry some poison in case they take me.

[t4705mb6]

Guantanamo will be temporarily closed.

(It REALLY needs a GOOD cleaning....all that blood and shit, piss and vomit!)

Don't worry! It will be re-opened JUST in time for the declaration of MARTIAL LAW in the US!

And YOU are invited!

[lbcitezen]

jus call mike on discovery chanel dirty jobs

[t4705mb6]

The U.S. regime did not build new concentration camps & refurbish closed militry bases & other facilities into camps (300+) to simply "close" them. The camps are manned & "good to go". They are simply sitting & waiting. The hundreds of billions in tax money spent on these camps were hidden from the public, lost in the "fog" of the "homeland security" budget.

The NWO transnationalists expect the people of the United States to be their biggest problem, many fighting NWO to the death.

[sibawi]

idiot when u torture muslim /muslim will torture us but u never learn

[random0815]

what about compensations? even if they dont want to pay them, if you release these people they could and should sue the states, considering how compensation cases work in the states that could get quite expensive

and obama: if he really was credible he couldnt be that conciliatory with people that commit such crimes, imprisoning for no reason - what could be worse? though maybe we hear the soft speaking in preparation for the big stick in february

[JeffreyEdward19]

Compensating terroris are you insane? I guarantee you most od those detainees aren't innocent like everyone is crying out. Most of them should be hanged!

[teemuruskeepaa]

Paul Jay's questions are now smart and critical. But the only threat to truth in journalism is not the capitalists and the state, it is the Weber's bureaucracy of the journalist institution itself!

[random0815]

to a certain extent, yes, but the american "professional journalism" scheme is basically such a bureaucracy purposefully set up by corporate players like murdoch, and its not merely in the systemic problem, if you oppose the talking points you ll get fired by decree directly from the corporate top-level - completely unbureaucratic ^^

[teemuruskeepaa]

It doesn't matter to Paul Jay so don't mix subjects

[DCxxRay]

let me guess, you're a 9/11 truther lol

[deewana16]

let me guess u r one of those people with their head up their ass?

[thelastemperor909]

he wont take it out he shouldnt wtf !

[texas224]

Obama ain't no saviour from god. He is a pawn being ordered around because he is african american [I am not racist]. Fact is because he is black he is use as a product to deliver hope and change.

[BrianGO12345]

very true, also comming from a non racist. everyone should check out my Barack Obama video for some good truth

[greatbroad]

Corporate TV news just won't do it? Howabout Rupert Murdoch refusing to allow the story on Bovine Hormone to be shown - because it would be bad for his advertising business.

--Until the truth about this tainted milk is known, loving parents are poisoning their children 4X a day with this growth hormone, giving them diseases and odd body development.

[CynaBlue]

But how about the many secret prisons all over the world in which the US is illegally detaining and torturing prisoners? Will Obama stop the extraordinary rendition and torture? And will Bush et al ever be tried for human rights violations?

[wedapeepole]

i'd like to see him end guantanamo bay and all the other secret prisons and also stop detaining ppl on boats for years.its stupid

[greatbroad]

End the Dept of Homeland Security, who is spying on ordinary people, like you and me. (it really gives me the creeps to be treated like a terrorist)

[1BuckeyeNation]

This is absurd. We can't let these people loose in the US. Our own military men and women are not given the types of rights the NGO's and other rights groups say that our enemies should be granted under US law. These people are not US citizens and therefor not granted the protection of those rights. It's common sense folks and not feel good bullshit.

[lordblazer]

Well thats because we're dealing with an insurgency. The point is. Why are we invading countries anyway. YOu really think people who invade countries are protecting us, and or rights. Fuck that shit. BTW read your constitution. All humans are born with rights. This American exceptional ism didn't come around until the 1950s.

[1BuckeyeNation]

#1 the insurgency is made up of Islamic terrorists from Syria and Iran so why are they fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan? That's right their there to kill Americans and natives of Iraq and Afghanistan that do not worship Allah in the way the terrorists tell us we must. Should we retreat and allow these terrorists to take over countries that we invaded because we thought they were threats to our national security? How long before the terrorists working together from Iraq and Afghan commit 9/11/09.

[bigeffendeal]

Buckeye, I think you need to look into false flag terroisim.

The muslims are a weak backwards culture not capable of making our military stand down on 9/11. Nor did Osama have access to military grade anthrax used in the anthrax letters to people like Dashel, and Brokaw.

If you still think Osama bin Laden did 9/11 you are way behind the curve.

[runmonsta]

I don't want to be behind the curve, but all the 'evidence' pointing toward controlled detonations, that shit "loose change" movie etc. Are all flimsy. Is there anything that is actually concrete?

I implore an investigation since a proper one was never done, but I get sick of conspiracy nuts posting around youtube with "truth" that has been disproved already. Peace.

[veryfuck]

"debunking 911 debunking" from david ray griffin.

but i think you better dont waste your time everybody knows that the ones in power will always hold there power.

if you know THAT you can understand where it leads too

[runmonsta]

I understand that those in power have worked very hard to continue the separation of their class from lower classes. I find their methods to be pretty overt if one is to look, I was referring to people claiming that Illuminati or some other secret group is behind all the corruption. I think the reality is much worse; it's the people who it seems to be and they're playing us all right in front of our faces and going home to sleep on mattresses made of dollar bills and bath in children's tears ;)

[runmonsta]

Ps. I'll check out the book, on Uni break, got the time to waste.

[1BuckeyeNation]

All people are born equal but not all are born with rights. That is why we have a constitution of law that keeps government from interfering with our rights and the US government is not prohibited from taking the rights away from those that attack our interests. The US constitution is the US citizens law and not the law of the world and therefore is not a protection of everyone in the world unless they adopt the Constitution.

[1BuckeyeNation]

I don't know where you get the 1950's crap because the US has been exceptional since it's inception.

[machaeroguy]

I hope Bush sends all the Gitmo detainees to Egypt before Jan. 20th.

[killergames187]

A lot of people are going to see Obama is jest like Bush he is a lying ass hole!

[greatbroad]

Now killegames187, why not give the man a chance? I voted for Chuck Baldwin, myself. Yet, Obama is our Senator from Illinois.

I'll tell you 2 things about Obama I promise you, are true: the man is very intelligent and is a wonderful

communicator. 2 things Bush is not.

(I bet u nobody calls him a lying ass hole like George W. Bush.)

[DRockMyrick]

You guys at the real news really give me hope for my nation. Please keep it up (when my pockets get straight I will be donating!)

[wdcsucks1]

i think guantanamo is more like a training center for those who are going to run the FEMA concentration camps in the US (800 of them!). they learn how to loose any respect and empathy to human beings which will then be implemented on US citizens and maybe also citizens from all over the world who oppose the NWO and will be transported there to be eliminated.

[FreakishDonQuixote]

ok nutcase.

[wdcsucks1]

When and how will Obama close Guantanamo? NEVER!!!

[boots920]

Sooner will a camel pass through a needle's eye than a great man be "discovered" by an election.

Adolf Hitler

Just like Mr. Carter...peanut farmer out of no where

[billionaireby16]

Thank God Obama is closing Guantanomo and reversing alot of Bush's Executive Orders... He's ending the notion of a "Unitary Presidency."

This is Change I Can Believe In....

Give em' Hell kid!!!

[DCxxRay]

lets see if he gets rid of the patriot act

[wedapeepole]

i'd like to see that happen

[billionaireby16]

Even if he does... What then? This is what I'm talking about. Instead of just sitting back and absorbing our government's actions (Obama or not), you all could be pushing the hell out of his Transition Team at this very moment! You all are waiting on him... Just like you're waiting on Ron Paul and Ralph Nader... They need you... Not the other way around... Make some noise... Be constructive... Let's do this...

[DCxxRay]

we need ron paul

[truthspeaker969]

[abilityoflove]

I wonder is George W Bush will serve his sentence in Guantanamo?

[abilityoflove]

Crap, I made a typo in my comment (is = if). My god, I am talking like W-ya ;)

[BlackRepublican2010]

@abilityoflove Barack Hussein Obama is following his war strategy step for step, in your thinking Barack Hussein Obama should be there as well!

[Meloman0001]

Great job again RealNews. You guys should interview Ron Paul, your ratings would definitely increase.

[greatbroad]

I would absolutely would love to see a vulnerable republican party spanked and crying like a newborn, the doctor holding them, upside-down. Like that baby, the republicans must be born again - obey, protect and defend the liberty of Americans.

[Meloman0001]

If they did that, and supported even some of Ron Paul's views then I would support them too. But preach brother, somethings gotta change.

[YukiIsoya08]

Great topic. You don't hear many others talking about this.

[pandora7891]

Thanks for posting this and keeping up the great work!!

[upabittoolate]

wow, the dude hasn't even been inagurated yet

[YukiIsoya08]

Yeah, but HUMAN beings are in jail. Many haven't done ANYTHING wrong.

[upabittoolate]

of course they're human beings. you never would hear me deny that. i asked if that's the president-elect's fault? aren't you putting the cart before the horse? incidentally, he was opposed to the war that filled the stockade in the 1st place. why scapegoat him? why not be smart & hold him accountable to his campaign promise instead?

[Squirelbutt]

Because they are in gitmo does not make them guilty.
