  • So holding people indefinitely is the way to go?

    Lets arrest every Muslim, torture them and hold them until they die!

    GItmo has created more terrorism than it has prevented. Its very existence violates the Constitution.

  • Evidence on Gitmo recidivism IS clear, but it is surprisingly lower than the recidivism of our general prison population. That's not an endorsement of Gitmo, but an acknowledgment of uncomfortable facts.

  • Why didn't these Republicans get on TV and raise hell when Bush and Cheney sent back over 200 terrorists I wonder?

    Also, I wonder why these people end up back on he battlefield. It couldn't have anything to do with being tortured by American soldiers while held in a cage for 10+ years, could it? Just a guess.

  • Gee, you mean if you actually capture an enemy combatant on the field of battle, hold him for 6 or 7 years then release him, he will actually rejoin the fight against America? Really? Who would of ever thought of that?

  • these politicians are so stupid. Just end the occupation in the middle east and all the terrorism will end. But instead they increase the number of troops and create more terrorism. Way to go Obama !

  • they not asking themselves, why these young guys after the hash life they spent so many years in Gitmo, why they are willing to go back and fight? why is that? "yeah they want to kill american for fun eh"? Is that the damn reason? See how misleading that is?

  • The Party of No never has a positive solution. Gitmo is not rehabilitative, but he has no alternative to Gitmo except holding people without charges until they die.

  • i wonder how many prisoners that were tortured when innocent would not want to stike back at the injustice of it all.. america has caused its own problems and will have to deal with the consequences. 911 was an inside job.
