Guantánamo leaks lift lid on world's most controversial prison

Wow way to broaden the question and I love how you do the scary they could put them in Kingwood with just a few guards ploy. We have that know at our local prison that is near the local ball park.:doh

Do you even research your little threat before you posted such ridicules comments.
Actually no scary tactics, just making fun of the Monday morning quarter backing. It was a sarcastic post, although you being a liberal and all there is no answer, I imagine you would support a catch and release program. One thing for sure is that these fighters/terrorist or whatever play our liberals like a violin. BTW I support pulling completely out of the M.E. and if they attack again that's when we end it once and for all.
 
Oh, I believe they talked about a place awhile back in the media when they were discussing the civilian trails. I beleive it was the Thomson facility in Illinois prison and it was a High level security site thought its been awhile. So, I might be a little bit fuzzy on details and such but from what I read about the facility it sounds like a great place to hold these people.

In Gitmo opinion, two versions of reality

Just a few little details so you can understand that "justice" will most surely be done. Yes, indeedy!

LMAO..justice, this isn't about justice, it about information and after that it about,"we have no F'en idea what to do with them". This whole affair should have stayed with Spec Ops on several levels and no war in Afghanistan, history should have told us that...no prisoners
 
Sooo im guessing im sick because i dont support torture? I dont support questionable methods of interrogation? I dont support fair trials? I dont support the right to habeus corpus? I dont support people who have been innocent being held for years and years on end?

Your right i am "sick".. Sorry i believe in the right of law.... Something i thought America stood for.. Oh well im just "sick."

Who exactly was tortured at Gitmo and what was the torture method? I want exact information. Not a liberal diatribe.

When have captured terrorist ever had US Constitutional rights like habeas corpus?

What does the Geneva Convention say about terrorists captured on a battlefield?

When have captured POW's, much less terrorists, had a right to a trial in US criminal or civil court?
 
Guantanamo is everything America is not supposed to be. Shame on Obama for breaking his promise.

BS!

We have detained captured POW's during every war the US has ever fought.

Do any of you lefties even know what the Geneva Convention says about terrorists?
 
This prison is no better than a Soviet Gulag. It hope for a swift closing of it.

WOW!!!!!

Just WOW.

You obviously know very little if anything about Gitmo or the former Soviet Union.

LMAO. hey they have sun, warmth, 3 ethnic squares a day, sun tanning lotion last but not least a shower and clean clothes and no cave dwelling.
 
My neighbors daughter is stationed at Gitmo and deals with the terrorists every day.

Before she was stationed there she had the same opinion as many of you lefties.

After a few months dealing with these killers her opinion changed 180 degrees.

They are being treated under the guidelines of the Geneva Convention even though we have no obligation to do so.

Every one of them can be place against a wall and shot tomorrow morning.

25% of those released have returned to killing innocent people. And those are the ones we know about. The number could be much higher.

Despite 0bama's BS during the campaign he now understands they can never be released and do not have a right to a trial in any court.

Makes me wonder if he knew that all along and the campaign BS was just that. BS for votes.

You can expect a lot of silence over this. No one wants to admit how god damn wrong they were.

These terrorists have proven that, after they have been interrogated, confined for a while, then released, that they are more than willing to jump right back into the fight. Given the in-ability of these terrorists to honor thier word and not go back to country x,y, or z, why should be not just take them out of the fight.

It will not matter if we keep these idiots locked up for 5 years or 50 years, once released, they will do everything they can to continue doing the things that got them nabbed in the first place. To me (and its just my opinion) it is much more humane to put them out of thier misery (and ours) as soon as we have the useful information out of them, rather than keep them locked up until they die of old age.

I wouldn't take the word of an Islamic terrorist if it was written in Allah's blood on the original of the Koran.

**** 'em
 
At what expense? In what facility? With what security measures? In what state? It isn't as simple as saying "oh, we'll keep 'em separate". If you want Gitmo closed I respect your opinion, but I'm not willing to stand on some arbitrary moral compass if the alternative has the potential to harm more people. The logistics have to be worked out before anybody is moved out of that prison. I remember articles from several news sources illustrating how avidly states were fighting to keep the detainees out of their prisons. We don't want them in Gitmo, but we don't want them here, either...

They're uneducated nutjobs from a third-world hellhole, not supervillains. How are they any more dangerous than a murderer or rapist when in prison?

Also torture.

If this needs to be explained to you then you desperately need to do some more reading about jihadis.

And what mysterious abilities do you think they have that would allow them to inflict harm onto people while in prison that some other violent nutjob could not?
 
Put your money where your mouth is.

Try answering the questions in post #29.

You asked several. Which are you referring to?

They want to kill Americans.

Last time I checked our prisons are full of Americans.

Does that help?
 
WOW!!!!!

Just WOW.

Torture in Gulags wasnt commonly state advocated (if it occurred very often) after a sentence had been served. One of the nicer gulags would be nicer than guantanamo. I wonder if the Russians tossed Qu'rans in the ****ter during the Afghanistan war.

The Russians killed every one in the villages they attacked in Afghanistan. Men, women and children.

The Quran thing at Gitmo was a hoax BTW.

I think you fail to understand the character and the nature of the enemy we are fighting. They are totally unrepentant, and utterly ruthless; turn them loose and they simply return to the battlefield and pick up where they left off before being captured. It has happened time and again.

No, these people can never be released. We either hold them for life or we execute them. I say kill 'em.
