  • I believe they are charged as enemy combants -- certainly the ones pulled from the battlefield are.

    One cannot fix a mess WITHOUT a comprehensive plan. Ad hoc isn't going to cut it. Again: Ready. Fire. Aim. That's the wrong order.

    Final comments:

    You frequently confuse "there" and "their", which is not helping your presentation.

    "...he has a retard." What does that mean?

    W kept the homeland safe for 26,089 days. You should thank him not denegrate him.

    Where do these guys go?

  • First off... they have not been PROVEN to be or SUPPORT killers so the fact they are locked up with no representation and not being CHARGED with anything is disgraceful. And as for comprehensive plan, Obama has to fix this fucking mess Bush created so it will take a little while for there to BE a plan. There plan is to review the most dangerous and then charge them with something which for the past 7 years has been to difficult for Bush to do because he has a retard.

  • My eyes and ears are open. What I did not see or hear from this retired Gen or the Prez is what they will do with the detainees when Gitmo is closed. That it will close is done (Ready. Fire.). What to do with occupants, not known (Aim). Some released detainees have been offered to their home countries and said country refused them. So, that won't work for all. And that is just the ones we decide to let go.

    I'm not hearing a comprehensive plan here.

  • Contd:

    You state: "The ones that will be let go, which is only a few, are going to be shipped back to there own country. You sound like one of those typical conservatives who is frightened that they will blow us all up if we let them go. Grow up"

    1st: What of the ones that are NOT going to "be let go"? Where do they go? Again, no plan.

    2nd: What I sound like is someone concerned about letting killers on the loose in any location. Don't want them killing anyone. An adult concern.

  • "InvestigatorDave"... come on, you really need to read more and open your ears. Gitmo is not the only place we hold enemy combatants. And it is not like they'll be wandering around the USA wondering what to blow up. The ones that will be let go, which is only a few, are going to be shipped back to there own country. You sound like one of those typical conservatives who is frightened that they will blow us all up if we let them go. Grow up

  • So, order the closing of the facility, and THEN have committees decide what to do with the detainees held there.

    Or: Ready. Fire. Aim.
