Obama is talking about indefinite detention for detainees. So much for "not forever."
The critics are NOT saying it should close because it "makes people unhappy." The critics are saying gitmo should close because detention without charge violates strong tenets of law like habeas corpus and due process.
The international reaction against gitmo has done far more to make America unsafe than whatever the less than 100 people in gitmo now could ever do.

The US is at war. But unless the people captured are not specificly done so in the batter field, i.e. after a battle, firefight etc other arrests require, by the Geneva convention, adequate reason and count as legal arrests, so the US cannot capture them, they need to be arrested localally and extradited, after a hearing. If they are taken away from the country of capture, other than back to their own country this is illegal! US isnt bound by the Geneva convention? It's commiting war crimes.

Foreign soil where the US has no jusrisdiction? You are mixing up criminal law and war. Its not the same thing. Those aren't cops out in the streets of Chicago, they are soldiers in a foreign country during war and occupation. Think, think, think!

There probably are some innocent people being held. There are probably a lot more evil moslem psychopathic murdering terrorist cowards.
They ought to do some reasonable investigation, figure out who is who the best they can, let the innocents go and shot the others.
Next!

lol perfect logic. all those critisisms are baseless so the critics of guantanamo bay won't be happy if we close it. wtf

wtf? what processes and lawyers? The Geneva convention is blatently violated, there are people there for years without trial. People are arrested ON FORGEIN SOIL where the US has no juridiction. People are kept with no evidence and are tortured till they say something! Obviously if you get constantly tortured you are gonna tell them what they want to hear!

Why are a bunch of 22 year olds talking about stuff that they don't understand? Is this what the Heritage Foundation has come to? At lest Cato has some integrity.

Most of the people in Gitmo are not captured on the battlefield. In fact a lot of them are sold to the US by Afghan warlords. That's why the US used to have a habit to let a judge decide over once guild. Most of the prisoners have been released without charges, after years of mistreatment. This is fashist.

Not doing so is what makes us (Western democracies) better than them (fundamentalist religious theocracies). They're still living about 500 years in the past, we don't want to mimic their behavior.
