Some bombers, terrorists, plotters, and people who have committed nothing so far are in there. But think of this…Timothy McVeigh bombed Oklahoma City and we held him in America…yes he was a terrorist-American born. Why didnt we ship him off to somewhere? Chew on that pinheads.

Because that would be a pointless move hes on American soil already so he has to get a trial, but people in guantanamo their purpose to get no trial, but since the releases of a few 96% have gone back to the battlefield already
Right! Why should any other country have to put up with America’s terrorists
We did, we shipped him off to prison.
If you would take someone to prison without having a lawyer and going into a court, then why should we have courts and lawyers? what is there job exactly?
Terminate them – all the collective scum from wherever!
The world will be a much, much safer place for all!
As someone arrested on American soil for acts commited in America, we had legal authority to prosecute McVeigh.
The people are Guantanamo (and dozens of other secret prisons around the world we are working with) were arrested by us on foreign soil where we have no authority, which makes those arrests illegal, and for acts they didn’t do here (at least not yet). So we can’t legally hold them here in the US, and it makes prosecuting them here (even ignoring the torture issue) difficult at best.
Uh, because Timothy was a citizen of the U.S. and had to be tried here in the U.S. and had constitutional rights. He wasn’t a foreigner. If a terrorist does terrorist acts here in the U.S and if he/she is an American, they get tried here not in some other country because their crimes were here. He was going after the government.
Terrorists in Gitmo are foriegn and don’t have constitutional rights here in the U.S. Timothy was a citizen. So what do you suggest the U.S. do, set them free???
This was done almost immediately, why is the big question? I want to know where does he plan on sending them!
It may turn the USA into a respected nation again
I was very happy when I heard that Obama was closing Gitmo down. The fact that a base was needed in a foreign country because we really could not have it on American soil, feels disgraceful to the country. Ben Franklin once said “Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security. ” Liberty is a right that ALL humans deserve and a country that claims to be all for freedom, should NEVER take another persons freedom for their own security. I know this is very idealistic, I understand that it complains and offers no solution. But I believe that we as a country should stand for something, and be the example for Democracy, and Liberty, and Freedom that we always claim to be.
Can not believe an intellectual person like yourself does not have this figured out…..
Timothy McVeigh was an American citizen…..by being a citizen he had Constitutional rights…..we were prohibited by law from “shipping him off somewhere”
The Detainees are NOT American citizens….they have no Constitutional rights…… in FACT under the Geneva Convention the Detainees could LEGALLY have been executed WITHOUT TRIAL on the battlefield…. it is only by the generous humane nature of America that they are still alive
CORRECTION….The detainees who “did nothing” were released long ago……what remains are hard core bad guys….. a testimony to their threat……almost ALL the nations of the world refuse to give them asylum…. and 12% of the Detainees who did “nothing” and were released….. went straight back to being terrorists…..one is a leader in the terrorist movement…… Chew on that “liberal” pinhead
