Ya because Guantanamo is the only prison the U.S. has in the world.

Because people think closing a prison will cause unethical acts on detainees to stop. The military will just interrogate them elsewhere.

I give a damn because i got respect for a standard of human rights in this country.
If they are captured give them a trial then proceed to execute or lock them in a prison for the rest of there lives.

Ok name 1 person that has escaped from a super max prison? Just 1 person thats all. Not the regular maximum security prison,but a super max prison that house the worse of the worse. You can't name one because no one has EVER escaped from a super max prison. And that is where these people would be held. Oh and by the way exactly how many of these detainees have been tried and convicted of anything? Or for that matter how many are being held without a single charge? just under 55% of them.

whoyouare13: Terrorists flew into the Towers and the Pentagon. They couldn't do something like that to the prison? It would attract more terrorists to the US. Anyway that's not the main problem with bringing them to US soil. I don't think you're willing or even able to understand. Dipshit.

First off according to your logic,whats stopping them from doing that now at gitmo? At least they know where that is and its not on our soil so its wide open for them to attack. Secondly if and when they do come here to one of our super max prisons,nobody would really know which one they're at. Where would they get the planes to attack us again? Certainly not from us because of our highten security. Definately not from another country because they would be shot down before they even saw land.

Gotta love that part at 0:40 when Bambi doesn't even have a clue what he's signing. Oh yeah, Bambi can no longer vote "present".
