Gitmo Again?

A new defense department report concluded that the detention center at Guantanamo Bay has treated detainees humanely. Do you think the facility will be closed within a year? What should President Obama do?

No, i dont think that it will be closed within the next year. I think Obama SHOULD close it down, but within the next year i dont think it is going to happen. Especially if they are being treated humanely, it wont be as big of a concern to Obama at the moment, but he will get it closed eventually.

I dont think it will be closed down within year. I dont think they should close it all. I mean when they do close it down where are they going to put all of those people. If i was obama i would just keep it open. It doesnt sound like a good idea closing it to me!

I agree with Doe Boy. Here is a question though. WHY should we close it down? Is it because the prisoners are being tortured? Ok, they aren't anymore, so why close it at all now?

I personally, don't think Obama should meddle in Gitmo's affairs at all. Sometimes we have to just skip the regulation and just do what is necessary. Red Tape is why Bin Laden is still on the loose, so why do we still use it?

I'm not too sure it will be closed within a year, if so so-be-it, keep it open--only under these conditions though. The detainees are allowed to be tried in a court of law and receive due process. After that, they become ruled by whatever the courts sentence them. If Gitmo is to remain open, Obama should make it a legitimate prison for the worst of the worst of the criminals. It's already contained the worst humanely, so it could function similarly as it did before.

Honestly I don't know if it will close. Personally, I hope that it does. I think Obama should close it. Most of those prisoners did not even get a fair trial. I do not care that they said that the people said that they treated the people humanely. You should know by now that people lie and that people say things to benefit themselves so the people who don't want it to close would say that. I don't beleive. How about some proof?

I think that it was a big mistake to close it and was very stupid to release all of these criminals. nad you can't tell me that they are all innocnet. although there might be a few acceptions i highly doubt it. the American defense is trying their best to keep us safe and closing that down is only gong to criple them. But I think that it will eventually be closed during obamas time.

I know that they are not all innocent, but none of them got to be proven guilty. I mean i would rather have it closed and have guilt people out than have it open and innocent people in it. It is wrong!
