Guantánamo
What would you do right now about Guantánamo Prison? If you had the power to do it would you send them all home? Regardless of the consequences some of them may face in their home countries? Continue with the trials? What should we do? The next President will have to face this question.
This made me think about it: Chinese Leave Guantánamo for Albanian Limbo http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/10/wo...hp&oref=slogin

Yea, I know what you are saying.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

I would grant them due process.
Have the strength of our convictions. |

Ok, grant them "due process" as we would legal citizens of the US, then what? What do you do with the ones that are guilty and the ones that are not-guilty? Where do they go? Does Gitmo become the next Alcatrez or Devil's island?

It becomes a prison and we give them full international prisoner rights under all treaties, the Red Cross and The Geneva Convention. Exactly what we want for Americans captured.
Again, strength of our convictions. Again, give them everything we would demand for Americans captured by an enemy. What happens to Gitmo' isn't really the issue, doing what is right is the issue. |

I admit it. It was a horrific mistake and I made it.
