Given that President Trump has promised to keep open Guantánamo concentration camp and increase the number of unconvicted or uncharged inmates, how many prisoners will be added to the current 55 by this time next year?

In the interests of keeping his word, I am supposing the total will be 110 and that they will once again be subjected to the waterboard torture.

Are you on the prisoner's side?

Obama said he'd shut it down when he ran in 2008. It's 2017.

Those morning security briefings have a way of changing your outlook.

Must be racism.

I do not believe Obama changed his outlook, We are told that Congress checked him.

Didn't our lease run out on December 31 1999 at midnight. Maybe now that Fidel Castro is dead, I'll be able to sit on the beach, sip margaritas, and smoke a big fat Cuban cigar.

There are no prisoners there. Obama promised that he would release them all within his first year in office.

 

[Slyhunter]

There are folks we catch that are too dangerous to simply release again. Is your argument that we should simply kill them?

 

[PurpleOwl]

they will begin installing gas chambers

 

[Muhammed]

they will begin installing gas chambers

Why would "they" want to do that? What would be the benefit for them?

less brown people

less brown people

Could you elaborate?

Could you explain the benefit(s) of reducing the number of brown people?

Prove it in court.

They were captured on the battlefield engaging in unlawful acts of war....per the Geneva convention...and they can be held till the hostilities are over.....

Waterboarding is not torture.

Who signed the defense authorization act of 2011? That's the bill that blocked funds to close Gitmo. Who signed that bill into law? Obama. He checked himself. Don't believe all that you are told.

Obama signs defense bill that could cripple his Guantanamo policy

President Obama Signs Indefinite Detention Bill Into Law

Some were transferred to the United States very recently so Wikipedia's number of 41 could be right. I will revise my number for this time next year to 88.

What is the point of pulling an arbitrary number out of nowhere and saying that may be the prisoner count?

Here is what the prisoner count in GITMO is going to be - whatever it needs to be. Period.

As far as waterboarding, it is not coming back. Sessions was pretty clear on what his departments stance was going to be on the subject as well.

The Justice Department didn't do it the first time....the CIA did.....

The justice department was involved. They are the ones that give the legal reasoning and rules for what is and is not allowed. They are connected.
