The Gitmo Dilemma

What a surprise. not.

The democrats in power play their voters like fools. They are right.

seriously....if no one wants them....just make them vanish. Who cares what happens to a bunch of crazy terrorists? I don't. They waged war on our country and have no rights or expectations to rights. We are too nice to criminals. Tie raw steak around their ankles and see if they can swim to Florida. If they make it...they get a trial by jury. If not....the fish in the gulf get a somewhat tasty treat. May sound overly simplistic and I doubt the liberal wimps who run Newsweek will publish it...but seriously they should all just die.

Um, 4Carol, using your argument, one could just as easily say, " Bush didnt create 9/11, and he couldnt be expected to solve it in a day..."

These are not school children on their first day. Barack is running the top job on the planet. He knew what was waiting for him, and should be reminded regularly- Time to take the gloves off.

I say, let's take them to mid Atlantic and free them. Those whose country wants them and insures their conduct can take them home. Those remaining are free to make their way home the best way they can.

just before combat make sure you broadcast your enemies, their "rights" under the u.s. constitution over a bullhorn just in case they're unaware?

In the aftermath of its warm, fuzzy glow, tears of joy are shed and proclamations made by people on their knees, hands clasped, looking gratefully skyward in thanks, sobbing women on the View, cry elation for a supposed landmark election for Civil Rights, an historic campaign for the first Black President.

While Farrankan describes Obama as the ???coming new Messiah??? David Gerber on CNN likens him the ???Jeremiah to Martin Luther King???s Moses??? (huh boy???)

As Oprah Winfrey triumphantly proclaims ???America did the right thing???,

I seem to be the only one to notice that
??? gay people still aren???t allowed their constitutional right to free speech, to call their unions marriage, nor right to Taxation with representation and have legal marriage, that
??? the most qualified candidate, a woman, was dismissed in a media blizzard-smear campaign of misogyny, lies and phony polls, had to
??? beat her opponents in 21 consecutive debates, still loses to the most unqualified candidate in history simply because he is a man. He voted 131 times "present". We needed a Madam President, not a mr. present.

He got more votes, for and against, than any other candidate in history. Americans remain divided more than ever.

It???s time now for the corrupt Obama to return the favors to his corporate hedge-fund backers for the 90% of his raised 700 million, (oh, you thought it came from small donations on the internet? Ha, ha). They still own America (and Obama).

Now delusional with a new sense of equal rights, America remains a hypocrisy ruled by corrupt corporate bigots.

Utter rubbish.

Gitmo has never been necessary, and what kind of American supports the idea of holding people forever because the government might not win at trial?

It goes against everything this nation was founded on. It's an abomination. Shut it down, and deal with the detainees either as POWs, or as criminals (ie, try them and punish them). Also, even the government agrees that the Uighers did nothing to America. What the hell are we holding them for?

This article and many of the comments show how far America has strayed from its guiding principles in the last eight years. There is no controversy or difficult decision; America used to be a nation of laws and it's time we quit being a rogue nation and recovered our honor. These people are prisoners of the U.S. and they should be tried in established courts and either convicted or released in accordance with our laws and constitution.

people who act like animals should be treated as animals

THE 3300 KILLED ON 911,WHERE ARE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS?

HERE'S AN IDEA,LINE ALL 250 UP AND SHOOT THEM,THEN CLOSE GITMO!

IF OUR CONSTITUTION COVERS THE ENTIRE WORLD THEN WHAT ABOUT WOMANS RIGHTS IN SAUDI ARABIA?WHY ARN'T WE DEFENDING THEIR RIGHTS? AND WHY DON'T WE INVADE N/KOREA,THOSE PEOPLE ARE BEING DENIED THEIR AMERUICAN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!!!

Here's an idea. Close Gitmo and about 100 other US bases in foreign countries (out of 260 in 100 countries). Dump the 250 in their country of record without agreement since the number of terrorist is too big to worry about another 250 - especially since we have identified these 250. If we capture new terrorist, we can dump them on the UN with our blessings.

Other alternatives may include putting all 250 on an old 747. Give pilot one parachute and a point to exit said plane. Then,terrorist could recreate the feeling the American hostages had as they flew in WTC.

Try the Viet Nam Infantry approach to prisoners (I was there) Radio in when you have a body count of captured and dead. "Victor Bravo, this is Alpha 5, we have ten enemy KIA and two captured".

"Alpha 5, this is Victor Bravo. Call back when you have 12 KIA. out"

Why even take prisoners? SHOOT THEM ON SITE!

i can see it now,read every P.O.W. his MIRANDA RIGHTS?! freaking liberals?
