Ten years is up.....time to release everyone from Gitmo

[occupied]

With all the recent hoopla over the NDAA you would think these people would be all for finding some way to close down our extra-legal offshore military prisons. That's some solid compartmentalized thinking.

 

[WillowTree]

The SCOTUS has specifically ruled on this, the US Gov't can indefinitely hold terrorists without trial, same as during a declared war. If I'm not mistaken we do conduct a review of each case to determine if indefinite detention is warranted.

For those who want to let 'em all go, are you willing to accept the risk that one or more of them would and/or could be responsible for a future terrorist attack against Americans somewhere in the world? I have yet to hear or see a liberal progressive who wants to close Gitmo and release these people man up and say they'll accept the responsibility for those who will die as a result.

Do the accused get to participate in these reviews? Are they entitled to representation? Can they refute the evidence or lack of evidence against them?

We are America for christ sakes, we are supposed to be better than this

They're terrorists.....try to keep that in perspective.

I think he longs for another attack. That's why he so desperately wants them released.. Last i heard they're under military jurisdication, they're terrorists and they were picked up on the battlefield. no trial needed..

No, fuckem.

They are not citizens and have no such rights.

Unless you want to let KSM live in YOUR basement.

You do not have to be a citizen to be entitled to basic human rights

Burden of proof is on the government

Court rights have nothing to do with human rights moron. They are fed and clothed. Fuckem

Maybe we should elect a president who actually believes this.

If the United States is detaining these men for being terrorists, then the burden of proof is on us. Even the most despicable criminal is entitled to his day in court. That's what freedom means. These are the rules we have cherished for hundreds of years

If we have sufficient proof to show they are terrorists then we should be willing to provide it in a court or tribunal
If we don't have proof, they should be released

That is the American way

Thy're damned lucky they didn't get a bullet to the head on the field of battle.

Until we start beheading them, I'm good with the status quo.
I guess I'm not as soft as you are, leftwinger.

Then prosecute and convict them. Point is, they're accused terrorists. And you know who can be accused of being a terrorist? Anybody. You, me, our kids...

Due process protects the rights of the accused, not the rights of the guilty.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

What a bunch of mamby pamby bullshit. Grow some fucking balls and man up. Who gives a fuck about some so called moral high ground when compared to the scum of the earth we are detaining.

You fucking bleeding heart libs are a joke. A laughing stock.

We fought a Revolutionary War to establish those rights

A great nation is judged by how it treats those who may have done the indefensible. Lock them up and throw away the key without evidence is not the way great nations act

Yup, just need to have another 9-11 to happen again. Some just forget about the past.

On what grounds are these people the scum of the earth?

There was a time when we had to prove it

If Gitmo is your idea of manning up, please put in on your flaming fairy list.

That was the same ignorant, dumbass excuse Republicans used the LAST time. Either they stay at Gitmo or they are released into your backyard. Obviously the ONLY two options available. Republicans can't think of any others.

Because Republicans terrorized Americans into believing something once doesn't mean it works every time.

Don't they have the same rights as Americans? This is what the OP seems to be implying.

Don't Americans have more people incarcerated than any other country on earth? What is it you think being American makes you entitled too? That somehow you are protected from the law because you are American? The proof is in the prisons.

 

[dblack]

They are not criminals jackass. They're terrorists.

They're neither. They're suspects.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

You know what's really disgusting about you rightwinger. Your all up in arms over terrorists we are taking care of yet not a fucking peep about all the ones Obama simply snuffs out with bombs.

Fucking hypocrite

In which court of law have they been proven to be terrorists?

Until such time, they are suspected terrorists

Yet, we are still by far the greatest nation in the world, and everyone knows it.
We are only judged by the liberal wacko's on how we treat terrorists...but not by the rest of the world.

 

[dblack]

Don't Americans have more people incarcerated than any other country on earth?

As a percentage, yes. By far.
