Closing Gitmo and moving them onto US soil are two VERY different situations and, I believe, have very different legal ramifications.

Supposedly Saudi Arabia has a rehabilitation center for gitmo victims and it has a 80% rate of getting gitmo detainees to live normal lives again. But unfortunately, many of the 20% have started their own terrorist group, AQAP, and took responsibility for the Christmas Day bombing...

There is proof enough we should have just shot them. Releasing them back into the wild is just begging for trouble.

piercehawkeye45 · 01-28-2010, 11:59 AM

Cause that would NEVER backfire.....

lookout123 · 01-28-2010, 12:03 PM

Not if you kill enough of them.

piercehawkeye45 · 01-28-2010, 12:07 PM

Not if you get two people to join the terrorist movement for every person you kill. But eh, you are looking for a reaction now.
