Obama has tripled inmates at Gitmo sister prison. Salon - President Obama has presided over a threefold increase in the number of detainees being held at the controversial military detention center at Bagram Air Base, the Afghan cousin of the notorious prison at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.

"Inhumane treatment" is relative. How about the treatment of the American people by this liberal democrat president? THAT'S inhumane.

and by all Americans we so order that ALL of the detainees be dumped overboard 50 miles out to sea in the Atlantic. THAT'S not torture they have a chance to live if they swim And the President just said in his own words they pose a serious danger. no good F Towelheads ~ !

I heard there was like three 12 year olds in the prison. Whether that's true is debatable.

I agree with the closing because I think that it makes the US look bad.

OK, we are done here.

[YCSposter]

so now the severity of the crime equals how much you should torture them? haha

That's because people in the US prision system haven't planned to fly planes into buildings and kill innovent people.
