That is what im advocating forThen release them. .

Freedom of press.
Show the public whats going on.
Because they have been not charged of anything. Our government is just holding them without charging them.
Absolutely.So freedom of the press should be absolute,
but freedom of religion has become freedom FROM religion.
Our President is acknowledged the wisdom of his predecessor that this is a complex issue.
Thewre was a 60 minutes report a few weeks ago after the hunger strike - unless this is a new one?
Some of those guys have been there for almost a decade, be nice to actually give them a trial before they die of old age.
The world is a complicated place and the President is doing the best he can on a wide range of issues. He was just elected into office about a year ago.
Close the place down.
Then release them. If they indeed are terrorists they will go back to their ways, will be targeted and hopefully killed. If they are not terrorists - well, they'll be pissed off enough to maybe become one.
That is what im advocating for
Sure, just like he was against same-sex marriage and raising the debt ceiling while Bush was in office...now he's for both.
Then that directly contradicts the notion of a "free press"
Freedom of the press.

The first disappointment of Obama's presidency was that Gitmo's prison wasn't closed in the first three months.
They are terrorists? Why are the vast vast majority cleared to be released back home and havent been charged with anything?
Freedom of press.
We have the BBC for that.
If you have a problem with The Real News, what is it?
Actually isnt he starting to try to find a way to close the place down?
How do we know people aren't just starving the prisoners to death and making it look like its the prisoners own wishes?
:dohHow do we know people arent just starving the prisoners to death and making it look like its the prisoners own wishes?
Not at all.
That is not how that works.
Which is not saying they are "cleared to go back home."
Sadly for democrats, the honeymoon period is just starting to wear off for the vast majority of Americas.
Either it is false, or Obama wants to keep them there.
I don't think you know what that phrase means.
The BBC is state media.
Youtube is not a citation.
Yeah, he has been "trying" since before he was elected. And by trying I mean doing literally nothing.
:doh
You would have to think very poorly of this country to even suggest such a thing.
You can compartmentalize the actions of our Government all you want. Doesn't change what I said.Thats bull. I would have to think poorly of those who run secret prisons that are absurd for the US to have. You can try to use obtuse logic bombs to try to make me look like some sort of zero-patriot but that doesnt mean its true.You would have to think very poorly of this country to even suggest such a thing.
Video @: [/FONT][/COLOR]Ongoing Gitmo Hunger-Strike Spurs Prison to Impose Media Blockade - YouTube
Apparently GITMO has a new policy to not report or release #'s of how many people are still on hunger strike because it attracts to much attention to GITMO. There also seems to be a good amount of prisoners at GITMO who are still on hunger strike.
:doh

Prove that is the case with these folks.I find it insane that people would lock people in cages without a trial, all because somebody somewhere said they might be a terrorist.
Prove that is the case with these folks.
iLOLI can usually tell when someone responds so fast that they barely read my response and will likely write a poorly thought out one-liner. And here we are.
So you're making the claim that everyone in GITMO has had a trial?
BBC News - Q&A: Guantanamo detentions
No trial, transfer or release: Gitmo's 'indefinite detainees' identified ? RT USA
Guantanamo Indefinite Detainees List Released By Obama Administration
Are you so misinformed that you think they've all been given trials or are you just too lazy to educate yourself on the subject? I imagine you just don't give a **** because if a bureaucrat tells you someone is a terrorist, you believe them.
