Obama signed executive orders today.
GITMO:
1. To close GITMO within a year. Question? Where do these prisoners go?
Some of them cannot go to their own countries as "they" fear certain death.
Other countries do not want them in their country. Fort Levanworth--in Kansas has already stated they don't want them in their back yard. "I believe that if they were put in an American prison, or at Ft. Levanworth with American prisoners--that their life spans would be that of a "nat". So do we put them in 24-7 lockup in isolation within our civilian prisons or at Levanworth? Do we let them run loose on our streets. Do we parachute them into Al Queda terroritory? What's the solution? Your thoughts?
TORTURE:
2. Obama signed another executive order stopping what is referred to as "harsh" interrogation tactics of terrorists? What does this mean? No more waterboarding, no more sleep deprivation, no more reading of Harry Potter books in English to prisoners? I think this is a bad idea. Obviously the master mind of 9/11 was waterboarded & according to Dick Chenney they were able to interrupt other terrorists attacks, other terrorist were caught, etc. etc. I would guess if there is another terrorist attack in this country or other places--& it could be substaniated that the lack of these so-called "harsh" interrogation practices could have stopped innocents from dying that the entire Obama administration would be blamed for the attack.
Your thoughts on this one too?
